Thank you for this gem of a comment.

I'm no expert (let alone compared to others weighing in here on HN), but this strikes me as incisive -- and it clearly articulates a logical case (beyond my previously merely instinctual aversion) against such "safety filters" / "nanny" processes. It also resonates with ancient (e.g. Buddhist) ideas about the futility of trying to exert control, such efforts most often being counter-productive.
