Agree. It's the same as saying don't use for loops or any other basic language constructs. Switch is very useful, please leave switch alone! You will not take switch away from me :)

Let's say I give your AGI (which is not self aware and does not have a conscience) a task. The task is to go and jump off the bridge. Your AGI would complete this task with no questions asked, but self-aware AGI would at least ask the
