A fair argument. It seems like that's exactly what Hoid did, decided not to settle on any single intent. How the original 16 picked their shards is open to interpretation I guess, but I'm pretty sure there's mention in Harmony's letter to Hoid that Ati specifically picked Ruin to try and curb its destructive intent. Conversely, its mentioned that Rayse wanted Odium, and was already a dangerous man.
I wonder, with that info, if the 16 had any idea how badly the Shards would corrupt their vessel.
