It is known that the Shannon capacity of the q-ary symmetric channel (qSC) is the same as the list-decoding capacity of an adversarial channel, raising the question of whether there is a formal (and black-box) connection between the two. We show that there is: Any linear code $C\subseteq \mathbb{F}_q^n$ that has minimum distance $d_{\min}=ω(q^3)$ and achieves list-decoding capacity also achieves capacity on the qSC.
