No, that's not my idea. They would be silly to ignore what they know to be true. But they might be open to hearing about new/prototype technology they do not know about. And conditions/local knowledge could be shared. Lastly I have been involved with emergency humanitarian crises where the national team did not have access to information they needed. Agree, you don't want every thought bubble funnelled into an overwhelmed operations centre. Perhaps a gated entry into the system based on expertise through snowballed invitations could optimise input. Again, maybe the cave rescue is not the greatest application, but there is a great need for better expert elicitation systems.
