> ... what's with random incompetents ...? I think at least part of the answer is that research shows groups are, in some instances, shown to make worse decisions than individuals. In groups, individual biases are magnified, and the group process introduces a whole host of potential decision flaws (e.g., information hiding, social loafing) while not consistently compensating for individual decision weaknesses. Groups often make less optimal decisions than individuals, especially in subjective cases.
