Reminds me of quantum-bogosort: randomize the list; check if it is sorted. If it is, you're done; otherwise, destroy this universe.
Guaranteed to sort the list in nearly instantaneous time and with absolutely no downsides that are capable of objecting.
Except you missed a bug in the "check if it's sorted" code and it ends up destroying every universe.
There's a bug in it now, that's why we're still here.
