I'd always thought this conclusion was just a given.
Highly optimized systems take full advantage of their environment and rely on a high degree of predictability in order to avoid redundant operations.
These systems minimize the free energy in the system, and so very little free energy is available to counteract new forces introduced to the environment which act on the system.
You'll find parallels in countless domains, since the very basis for learning and stabilization of a system revolves around becoming more or less sensitive to a given stimulus. Examples could be attention, supply chain economics, institutions, etc.
