I hear this argument a lot, but I don't think it's a valid one.

Yes, you shrink after the big S, but still you have to have some (all)
control over the neighbourhood. At the least, you are not going to permit
any kind of evolution nearby, which may kill you, eventually.

And which will probably be smarter and will NOT ignore everything around.

Second, you'll not permit the  surrounding free enthalpy to be wasted
naturally. In vain.

You have no choice, but to expand and colonize inward AND outward.
