>You never know. Butterfly effect and all that. It adds up.
The butterfly effect affects most no physical systems, which contain incredible amounts of damping processes. The same thing happens with people - if a zillion of them want things that point in somewhat different directions, the net does not add up, it cancels.
Otherwise most physical systems would simply explode to infinities, but in practice they don't. They dissipate and become less useful.
Basically, the sum of noise is zero.

So nicely said.
I read a quote somewhere about ancient big buildings... Like stonemasons that were crafting stones had to imagine each stone beating really important in the bigger picture.
The quote said it better than me here.
I apply this theory to many diverse subjects- voting, finances, human health and car maintenance (once one system is suboptimal or impaired, others often follow). Keep your sockets gemmed. :)
