This is a word salad of nonsense. Please familiarize yourself with the definitions of market efficiency and market equilibrium. Its premise may even be flawed: I also recommend looking up resources which show evidence that concept of market equilibria is itself nonsensical.

Yes I did that once during my economics degree. It’s a bastard science and can be debated no end, but those debates are a lot more valuable when the participants actually explain any of their conjectures.
But I sense you are more in it for the argument than to help either of us learn.

I guess you've forgotten then. I'm not here to help you learn, I'm here to help other readers of these threads avoid trying to parse that word salad sophistry
Or, they gain enough power to create a failed market, in which it is practically impossible for new entrants to compete and eliminate the incumbent’s rent-seeking. This is what we so often see now, particular in markets with strong economies of scale.
An “efficient market” does not mean it is at its optimal efficiency all the time, but that there is an efficient equilibrium it is capable of tending towards.
