No, I really wouldn't. Generally the STs that are misinformed or just didn't think about it outnumber those that are genuinely stupid, and then for something of this nature only the malicious or uncaring would deny the opportunity to take advantage of the spell. What that boils down to is that any ST worth playing with can open dialogue to compromise -- as you demonstrated by going for a spell of genesis rather than manipulation. This is a very good sign for the quality of Empyrean's style ^_^
