That's exactly how I read it. It seems like tribalism - "this thing/person is bad, and we can use whatever bad words we want to describe them that we want, because the only thing that matters is aligning people for or against me and what I see as bad".

I think it's both wrong and irrelevant. Which makes it hard for me to even argue against because, even if AI agents never violated user instructions, which they do plenty of times, I just don't see how it would reduce the danger. Plenty of humans who will tell it to kill everyone at the drop of a hat.
