Ah this is helpful thank you.
So it's a variance thing? So by this logic, expanding the amount of experts who are delegates would probably fix the issue? Let's say you have a 100 experts in charge who have an average of 70% right answer, it would still be extremely likely the right answer gets chosen.
It seems more experts would be selected in a real world system as it doesn't have all the assumptions you mentioned.
- No binary choice (multiple solutions to one problem)
- Not always a right or wrong answer (a lot of issues are preferential)
- heisenzombie 4y agoThat's kind of what the experiment was about. They wanted to know: If we run this simple game of chance and delegation with real people, do people delegate more or less than the optimal amount? They found that people delegated more than would be optimal. Now -- whether that says anything about liquid democracy applied to real world situations is quite a different question, of course. As you started to point out.
