  No. But at scale members within a society behave in a reliable way. It's often predictable. Sometimes it requires the benefit of hindsight to realize a behavior choice. But going forward it's generally pretty reliable. Those bad behaviors are often incentivized by regulation. And the best fix is often to simply remove those regulations. Not by adding more. Especially when it comes to real estate, zoning, and rent control.
