I think that's a subtly different thing. The OPs claim was more or less the paperclip maximizer problem. I contend that a super intelligence given a specific goal by humans would take the context of humans into account and avoid harm because that's the intelligent thing to do - by definition. The orthogonal thesis is about the separation of intelligence from goals. My attitude to that is that a AI might not actually have goals except when requested to do something.
