The Stock market - Could Mutual Funds support the market in some distant time in the future?

I'm no stock market expert, but look what Mutual Funds were upto during the recent (and indeed ongoing) Sensex 'correction', and all the bloodshed that followed. This could be an indication that in the long run, MF's and retail investors could actually support the market.

I am also convinced that behavioural economists probably do better at the stock market than those who follow scientific methods such as 'top down' or 'bottom up' stock picking. But then, I am no expert!
