I've stated my objections to this view before, so I won't repeat myself.
But it just occurred to me that this position is also incompatible with the
view (which seems to be the majority view) that it's Silk-in-Horn that
impels Horn to donate an eye to Pig so that Silk-in-Pig can be uploaded into
Mainframe, even at the apparent price of his mission's failure.  What is
your view of Horn's motive?
