The idea is not to "fix" the subjective morality problem in any conclusive
or absolute way, just to mitigate it
It does not seem at all strange to me to partially rely on the advice of an
appropriate group of others, when making an important decision. It seems
unwise to me *not* to.

It is going to have to be.... Other than humans or groups of humans, who
else is going to decide when allowing the Singularity to develop is
appropriate? Who else is there but
a) chance
b) the AI itself?
I love my dogs, but I'm not sure they're going to be able to fully
understand the issues...
