  "description": "A system that defers to its overseers' preferences, even if it knows them only approximately, wants its successors to track those preferences better, so approximate alignment is self-correcting across generations."
}

Calls add_argument

{
  "name": "The argument from inherited flaws",
  "stance": "against",
  "claim_id": "aada82ab-4dce-496e-986c-ec721c66704d",
  "description": "Where the approximation lies in what the system values or in hidden dispositions, the system has no motive to remove the flaw and its flaws can pass undetected to successors it trains or supervises."
