Is That a Good Thing?

Friction is always a bad thing right but in terms of preventing a negative outcome That's when it can be viewed as a good thing. Is there any place that you can think of where those are crossed? Yeah, the one that immediately comes to my mind is the concept of the tragedy of the commons familiar with this so Things like fishing right where it not for checks and balances in limits and resistance to being able to fish a certain number then Big businesses come in and they will wipe out the entire population.
