The article title is misleading. It is about the wisdom of diversity in well refined arguments. People tend to magnify their stupidity and ignorance in groups to achieve confirmation bias as the beginning of the article eludes.
- bracobama 8y agoI don't really see how the article title is misleading when you view it as a play on the classic wisdom of the crowds model. Moderate polarisation creates more diverse opinions which makes the Wikipedia pages better because they present a wider array of arguments.
- jessriedel 8y agoMaybe you mistakenly interpreted "polarized crowds" in the title to mean that a crowd that is extreme in one direction? In fact, it actually does mean "polarized" in the sense that the crowd contains both poles.
- austincheney 8y agoI focused more on the word crowd than polarized and I stand by my previous comment.
