This remind me of interventionism described on the antifragile book. Also the role of small stresses in the health of a system.

Eh.. it's just more that you reduce the fuel density by having more frequent wildfires. It's not about increasing resilience.

Avoiding stress (frequent wildfires) makes you fragile (megafires).

If you accept anti fragility as a true theory it still doesn’t fit with forest fires.

Now you are reminding me the Procrustean bed story :)
