Deception tactic, yes.
But, the way I see it- if the absorbed people could just take control of a hand and strangle the ling, they'd do so without needing to be severed first.
Also the lings/hivemind we have here spawns from -the thing-, not BSG.
I respect your stance however.
My main consideration here is:
More fun interactions would occur probably if the handspider was loyal to its hivemaster. If we do it the other way, we'll more oft than not see hand-rampages begin with the ling that spawned them.
