Bulls are powerful and sometimes unpredictable animals which, if uncontrolled, can kill or severely injure their handlers. The nose ring assists the handler to control a dangerous animal with minimal risk of injury or disruption by exerting stress on one of the most sensitive parts of the animal, the nose.
Hitler or a child can walk a bull around the stockyard.
Make a nose ring and build anything you want without concern. The concern should be with who has control of the ring, and that a ring exists.
Only until you build a self-modifying super-intelligent bull. Because the first thing it will do is become smart enough to persuade you to give the ring to someone else, who it’s calculated it can con into taking the ring off.
Human minds are really badly adapted for defence against con artists operating on the same level; how on earth would we defend ourselves against an exponentially smarter one?
