Yep. Think so. You are positing one type of AGI architecture, and the
other posters are positing a different type. In your type the AGI's action
of "thinking about" its goals results in changing those goals to be quite
different. In the other type this does not occur. You suggest that such a
change must occur, or perhaps is very likely to occur. You have provided
some arguments to support your suggestion but, so far, they have all had big
holes blown in them. Got any other arguments to support your suggestion?
