But...inevitable when/if such entities are operated and controlled
by human beings!

Sadly, we come "from the factory" with an active and instinctive
dominance hierarchy...and the only improvement we have made over
the last many millennia is to (or so we hope) replace actual
physical battles for higher rank with figurative "battles" with
a clear, demonstrable outcome ($, acres, feet high, m.p.h. usw.)

It all goes back to the old competition of "Mine's bigger than
yours!"...
