As have monarchies and dictatorships. So where does that leave us? The conclusions that all forms of government make horrifying decisions?

  Democracy is the worst form of government ... Except for all others.

  I like to think that a democracy and good decision making are not particularly correlated. But democracy is technology for preventing violent revolution because power change is built into the system.

It's not obviously wrong. What has Democracy to do with "majority based decision making". Another way to think of democracy is "distributed decision making". So why would "distributed decision making" be obviously worse than "command and control" like the way a corporation or tyrannical government is run?
