Exactly. Although I wouldn't even say they have blinders, it seems like OpenAI understands quite well what 4.5 can do and what it can't hence the modesty in their messaging.

To your point, though, I would add not only who has seen any grand conspiracy actually be accomplished, who has seen one even attempted and kept under wraps? Such that the absence of corroborating sources was more consistent with an effectively executed conspiracy theory than the simple absence of such a plan.
