Anything else can be explained, reverted, or somehow guided back and away from the result that Ryoko might want to see - namely, provoking Haruhi to generate something truly amazing. Think about it; how much closer would they be to their goal of self-controlled evolution (or even forced metamorphasis) if they could resurrect the dead like that? Not simply rewriting data, but by watching haruhi will it into existence. If Haruhi can break a "law" that big, then what could the ISDE (or SCD) do?

Well, she provoked Haruhi enough to make her generate those brass knuckles out of nowhere.

The ISDE doesn't seem to understand Haruhi's power yet, and I assume any data Yuki have from the various incidents she kept to preserve the timeline...so Ryoko doesn't know about them.

Attempt vengeance perhaps, but I think some scientists would agree that the destruction of a valuable sample is worth it to determine the potential benefit. Especially ones that don't apparently have a working concept of death amongst themselves as we do. Notice Ryoko's awareness of her prior fate in Disappearance? Maybe the ISDE types can't be killed by any logical means...and if they cannot figure out how to directly improve their own species despite rewriting the operating system of the universe, maybe they cannot figure out the concept of "absolute deletion." Consider the ISDE aliens to be a sentient form of the law of Conservation of Information - it's a physical constant of the universe that they cannot be truly destroyed. (Idly, even a black hole doesn't destroy information, there's theories now postulating them as a three-dimensional hologram of a four-dimensional object, and thus the paradox is at least partially addressed, though heavily handwaved)
Haruhi goes beyond a lot of those laws. |
