Design question / suggestion for IW about dominion death

I take this as a boost to the player who is trying hard to dominion-kill a nation - the other provinces will be easy scout pickings when you do kill him, and you can prepare your scouts beforehand.

The problem is in SP, where the AI doesn't seem to take advantage of it. In SP, when an AI dies to dominion death, the other AI with adjacent armies don't attack the now-empty provinces - at least, they don't do it systematically. As a result, you get "free" provinces if you have nearby armies or sneaking scouts (I like to have scouts everywhere, even in SP).

I think "easier to kill than convert" was a programming answer, and then a joke was added. The typed media is hard to cnvery some things. I picure the first comment made in all seriousness, then a mischievous grin as the second comment was made.

Make sense to me. "Easier to remove the old troops than change their designation to neutrals" or something like that.

Oh a cryptic clue that it would be somewhat hard to program? Or it was the path of least resistance? Ok.
