For Caroline, imagine you're an EA who made a catastrophic moral error. You'd feel horrible about it, you'd spend years reflecting on it, and then you'd hope you can do something useful and constructive with the rest of your life.
When I imagine myself in such a position, I find it hard to imagine I would start with something as obviously destructive as this. I would not choose something that maximizes the visibility of my repent at the expense of the thing I would be repenting for harming.
