It is not ambiguous at all, it is crystal clear. The purpose is explicitly personal curiosity - nothing more, nothing less. That is what "want to see what would happen" literally means. You are trying to force a notion of human-friendly benevolence where it simply doesn't belong, and trying to rationalize the world-wrecking irresponsibility of the decision as some sort of "mysterious ways" that would somehow serve the greater good.

This is basically the same attempt at reconciling the dream of a benevolent God and the reality of a messed-up world that monothetism has been making for a couple millenia, and it makes even less sense now as it did at the time. The only reason such notions endured is because people want to believe, whether it makes sense of not - precisely because the world sucks.

The "rules" are no almighty abilities (omni/absolute/etc.), and the power to manipulate everything on a galatic scale most definitely qualifies as almighty. Just because it doesn't have the tag (yet) doesn't make it any less so, as we have recently demonstrated with other improperly tagged abilities. As an example, Molecular Manipulation is reasonably classified as almighty and Galaxy manipulation can do all that and a whole lot more, on an astronomically vaster scale. So Yeah, it is definitely almighty as well, and all it misses is the relevant tag.

I don't have a problem with an ability that equalizes everyone (it would actually be perfect), I have a problem with an ability that completely nullifies the whole point of empowerment, which is the very reason this thread was created for in the first place : to explore what everyone would do given the chance, while you are not exploring anything at all, you plainly aim at crushing any form of exploration in the egg.

It doesn't really matter that much though, as all you would really accomplish in the end is cull the herd for the fittest to rule in peace (remember at least millions are much smarter than you). Quite the irony from someone who aimed for equality ^ ^;
