Really? If this is a forward moving system doesn't it need to generate
excess energy by the act of exchange in order to fuel its progress through
time? Is the generation of this energy good or bad? How are you defining
"good" and "bad" and from whose perspective?
When I lion kills an antilope it is "good" for lions, "bad" for antilopes,
but what is it to the ecosystem as a whole? At worst--a wash I think.
