Max Schoening(@mschoening):Many things we take for granted only work because there is slack in the system (e.g. return policies, breakage in pricing plans, policing, maybe even democracy). Utilization below capacity is quite important for a high trust society. Agents will have to add slack faster than they remove slack.
