Not that it's harmless, is just a point being forced into the public discourse to force an outcome, which in this case is not a ban, just a buy in from the government for regulatory capture.
If my neighbor owned a kennel, removed all the fences, and his violent dogs attacked five children in the past month, he would be in jail rather than bragging about how his dogs somehow gained autonomous behaviour.
What if he predicted that dog technology would eventually lead to dogs capable of destroying every fence in the world and wanted to make sure people aware of this problem would be the ones who did exactly that. Than speed-ran experiments on dogs which made them very attractive for economic purposes but also started to get very capable at destroying fences as predicted. We should work together or with lawsuits if necessary to keep the dogs within their fences. But we should also start wondering about dogs, economics and fences because what we know about them is about to radically change.
You're forgetting that those fences were made of paper.
