Yes, and (maybe sounds silly), how does that actually work? I mean, companies aren't democracies -- then, how does it matter that one guy has 100 droolers^H^H reports and the other guy has 20? Is it that everyone subconsciously thinks that "they are more people so they get to decide"? I don't think this is formalized in any way? (There's no written rule that says "bigger team gets to decide")
