I think it's less that the back channel existing is bad and more that the potential for figuring out the code can lead to people deciphering what was said in the back channel. That leads to people finding out Basil took control of A as well as all the memory edits that Basil did to make A appear to be more than she is.
The amount of influence A has gained as a direct result of those actions and edits is insane. Planets moved, society adopted on boards, and A has gotten a girl killed after more or less deleting her from society. If people find out that the things that got her that influence were lies, the effects of that are had to fathom. Worldwide riots at a minimum, complete societal collapse possible as people go to war with the onboards who are literally a part of themselves.
There's nothing here!
