I didn't say anything about how the quality of a standard was affected by whether it was developed by committee or not. Google claims that VP8 is "open", yet they are in full control of it. This is unlike H.264 which is not controlled by any single person. libvpx is the main reference for the standard that is VP8 including bugs. An open standard would have allowed these bugs to be corrected before launch.
