Yep. It will happen under duress, and at great cost. But it is a law of physics---that an object in motion continues until there is friction or obstruction enough to redirect it, or convert the dynamic energy to another form.... so the dominant paradigm hurtles along with quite a few dissenters in tow, adding all the friction we can.
