It did host a successful and substantially-satisfying human civilization, at least until it let a couple of presumptuous self-important anarchoprimitivists kill it and genocide its subjects. Even if it was only a temporary and unstable illusion of alignment, that's one more values-satisfying civilization than the overwhelming majority of paperclippers manage. So yeah. Good? No. Least evil? Maybe.
