I don't know. I'm trying to figure it out too.

I just know that the less diverse an ecosystem, the more vulnerable it
is to destruction. Heterogeneity (and change, by the way, i.e being a
moving target) mitigates against the risks of a monoculture.

Homogenous, centrally managed, massively networked systems bring many
benefits, but we are now seeing the sorts of weaknesses it brings, too.
