I don't know if you understood my point.  Good faith is not a factor 
here since we assume it is present in both paths.  In bottlenecks we get 
people digging in their heels and defending certain perceptions of an 
idea. Dispersion happens when someone abandons the bottlenecked sandbox 
and starts his own brand-new sandbox; with enough of these it becomes 
difficult for the new kid on the playground to choose which sandbox to 
play in.
