I actually find this kind of thinking quite useful. I mean, the particular policies proposed are probably pareto-suboptimal, but there’s a sound method in which we first ask “what policies would buy a lot more time?”, allowing for pretty bad policies as a first pass, and then think through how to achieve the same subgoals in more palatable ways.
