That same spirit is also what's behind shorts in the market to keep overly optimistic players in check. As with crypto-ransom operations against corporations to keep their system security on alert. Adversarial actions (within reasonable boundaries) is the most important balance mechanism.

The problem is keeping the adversaries balanced. Otherwise you have one side overpowering everything (and typically not through the "correctness" of their argument, but scale and resources) and the adversarial system becomes detrimental to progress.
