It's not any more dangerous than many things, really.
R2140 means that Power-3 Instruments can amend Power-4 rules, so there's
plenty of ways a Power-3 Proposal can destroy the game (just repeal Rule
1698 and amend R101 to read "the game is over").
And because fora and players are Secured at power-3 (R1688), lower-
powered proposals can't destroy these things.
Really, R1698 and R101 are the equivalent of "all your data will be lost,
are you sure you want to proceed?" buttons. They make it hard to hide
or accidentally make a game-ending proposal - but if an AI-3 majority
really wants to, they can click through those warnings.
