Users are the most important part of any information processing system, and any Pareto-optimal communication configuration requires that perfection extend to the users and their decision-making process. You could model this with the Prisoner's Dilemma by playing it this way: in your system of perfect communication, both players can know each other's decision before they commit and both can respond to any change in the other player's position. This would lead to always choosing the mutually beneficial position. Any change to the rules would make at least one individual worse off because they would lose information. This situation requires that both players give up the freedom to conceal their decision from the other. Privacy is at odds with optimal communication. In the move toward perfect communication, there will be changes that damage the positions and advantages of people involved in the system. It's clear that existing power differences are enhanced by rapid growth. Although perfection might not be a reachable goal, I believe there's evidence that approaching it will lead to a massive long-term benefit for everyone involved. There's no other way to overcome the mistakes we all make by being constantly misinformed.
