It's a bit like how people believe markets are self-correcting. Yes, only over an infinite time horizon, in theory. Edit: and like chemical equilibrium, you could say it depends on the "rate of wrongness production" compared to the "rate of correction". Edit edit: self-correction of course must fight against the higher virality of work selected for its impact rather than correctness, and incorrect work can then spawn further incorrect work, like an autocatalytic process or epidemic.
