That's correct, some people are pieces of shit regardless. But if everyone is looking out for everyone else, those people are shunned pretty quickly.

It has to be a small enough group. In a small enough group, the assholes will be cast out. Hence, the scaling problem. it doesn't get rid of assholes completely, it makes them unable to cause as much harm.
