It's incredible if you honestly believe that.

The only reason this blew up at all was because of the insane overreach by the DoW after anthropic voiced their concern.

It was well within anthropic right to do so, as it was part of their contract.

And it would've been very understandable that the DoW balked at that, though the real issue would be the incompetence how the contract was able to get through with that in it. But with that contact in place, the only sensible action would've been to terminate the contract and move on. Frankly, nobody would've cared.

But the DoW felt it just had to go further... And their chosen action was just an insane overreach - hence the controversy.
