"...a rigid structure may be more prone to collapse..."

Exactly. And our civilization, by virtue of it's complexity, has become too rigid and brittle. My point exactly.

But rather than try to prove it to you, I'm content to sit back and wait for it, although it may not happen in my lifetime. Still, in theory, my hypothesis can be confirmed, eventually, while yours cannot be confirmed, ever, because there's always the chance the civilization may collapse tomorrow.
