Even if it’s 99% coherent, and only 1% incoherent… then the end result is still incoherent?
e.g. 1 contradiction in a formal proof is sufficient to negate 9999 logically valid steps.
There’s no magical way for it to automatically become coherent.

An agent whose outcomes become bad in 100 years can, similarly, be described as "less wrong" than one whose outcomes become bad in 1 week.
A formal proof with 1 contradiction and 9999 correct steps is just as false as a formal proof with 10 contradictions and 9990 correct steps.
There is no “less wrong” or “more wrong” in logic, by definition.
i.e. There is no safe lower bound threshold of “wrongness” that can partially salvage the correct steps. Or conversely, 1 contradiction is already sufficient to prove anything at all.
