I was going to make this argument, though it also occurs to me that it's unlikely for biological life to make that decision. Even smallish groups of humans seem unable to agree unanimously on almost anything.
Potentially what sama was trying to convey was that machine life will reason about things more logically (or at least more consistently) than biological life, and come to that conclusion. Biological life may not be capable of that conclusion due to an inability to agree with other biological life.
