Failing to ensure quorum intersection in my quorum slices choice will have local repercussion and may befoul nodes that depend on me but does not prevent global functioning if the rest of the topology has quorum intersection.
I think your argument here is sane, but I also believe that under reasonable circumstance we can expect the Stellar network to be well structured. Yes some edge nodes may get befouled as you would in real life if you would trust an untrustworthy bank or health insurance.
