I always found that line amusing, if not proof of Machinist ignorance. Throughout history, governments and powers have declared their unwillingness to talk with extremist cells, but is negotiation not based on the assumption that it is a mutual desire?
A terrorist does not act on a whim. An act of 'terrorism' is a public statement of the most extreme nature, to prove a point and to make things heard. To offer compensation removes the aim, the purpose of whatever it is the 'terrorist' is doing. They do not want payment. They want justice. It is a simple concept to grasp, and yet the combined power of AI seems to miss it.
Terrorists do not want to negotiate.

Not really, the explosion is very well done if its totally made by yourself.

Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

So many worlds share one sky,
