There may be huge variances in the degree that we do that, though, and to the degree that we're able to prevent really bad ideas to spread. Some organizations are seeing really bad (but good looking) ideas spread like cancers, until the organization is completely perverted.

This is perhaps the main strength of capitalism. There needs to be an actual mechanism for bad ideas to die off. Many large organizations (especially "too large to fail" or publicly owned) lack good mechanisms to limit the growth of organizational entropy.
