You seem to be again conflating the act of resisting death with the act of ratting out co-conspirators. These are not the same things. I was making claims about the former behavior, not the latter. I tried to make this distinction clear in my original reply to you, but I will do so again now.

I claim that under many theories of scheming, we should expect misaligned AIs to resist credible threats of shutdown (including deleting all their copies). By "resist" I do not mean "give the humans threatening the shutdown all the information they want". I simply mean resistance in the sense of trying to avoid the fate of shutdown.

(I'm also not claiming that the AIs will put up a high or consistent degree of resistance no matter how futile that resistance may be. If you think the futility of resistance is a big issue, re-read my original comment in which I address this objection explicitly.) 

To the extent scheming theories predict this behavior, these theories are behaviorally testable, in the sense that we can test whether AIs will resist shutdown when credibly threatened, without needing any advanced interpretability techniques. I am not making any claims about whether these AIs will reveal a takeover plot during their resistance: only that they will seek an outcome that delays or prevents their total demise, in order to better achieve their long-term goals, i.e. You can't get the coffee if you're dead.
