I'm with Eliezer: noise never helps at a fundamental level.

To my thinking, this is essentially equivalent to conjecturing that P = BPP, which is plausible but still might be false.

ETA: Didn't read the post before replying to the parent (saw it in the sidebar). Now I see that a good quarter of the post is about P = BPP. Egg on my face!
