> there's no reason to believe that that process leads to the best ideas coming to the top.

I disagree, the reason is because when people have access to multiple ideas they can choose what ideas are best for themselves and other people can judge the outcome based on both the ideas and their effects on people.

Without free and open exchange of ideas its not nearly as easy to even tell what is misinformation.
