are you extrapolating from schelling fence here, or not familiar with schelling fence? former seems more likely...

the former! tho I'm not sure my extension is quite right, there's probably more to the sacred than schelling-fence-on-roids

almost surely more *broadly* defined sacredness is probably unlikely to be useful, and mostly agree w/ you . . .
-
that having sacredness comes with costs--say inflexibility in a changing environment; defector exploitation; etc
-
BUT exploiting human attraction to the sacred can be a reliable way of enforcing good norms, w/o some other costs

example of probably-net-good sacredness in the US: judicial authority. Supreme Court basically secular priests
