I'm not in any way discounting the danger represented by those missiles. In fact I think AI only makes it more likely that they might someday be launched. But I will say that in my experience the error-condition that causes a system to fail is usually the one that didn't seem likely to happen, because the more obvious failure modes were taken seriously from the beginning. Is it so unusual to be able to consider more than one risk at a time?
