Yep. There's something in game theory that bears on this. (Sorry, I don't have a reference handy) Basically in any group you need an ecosystem of actors, so that you can have soft hearted people AND people that can take sudden brunt damage without bullies taking out the sweethearts. That was the broad brush. It's sort of herd immunity.
