OK, you have a point, sometimes it does not mean what I thought it did. If you look at the general description of it, however, there are 8 items there, only one of them (“Helping a society escape a natural disaster known to the society, even if inaction would result in a society’s extinction.”) of the questionable type you describe. The original statement, “no identification of self or mission; no interference with the social development of said planet; no references to space, other worlds, or advanced civilizations.” also makes perfect sense.
