It seems to me that this idea of 'spontaneous order' implies that 
those practices popped up out of nowhere. Concepts like 'customs' or 
'shared habits' would apply much better, as these imply that 
individuals are born into a society that is used to do and organize 
things this way. This instead of assuming that this idea of a 
spontaneous order would in some way reflect their preferences.
