      Entscheidungen werden von mehr Leuten mitgetragen ... müssen dadurch aber nicht besser werden. Ich sehe die Gefahr des großen "Blufs" ... Zahlt es sich aus, die MAssen begeistern zu wollen (die anscheinend ja nicht von selbst kommen), ist eine kleine elitäre Gruppe hochgradig involvierter nicht besser? Surowiecky sagt, dass kogintionsprobleme (wie viele Drops sind im dem Glas, wie schwer ist die Kuh?) sehr gut von der Masse gelöst werden, über beteiligung im Government meint er: "making policy in a democracy is not a cognition problem; it is a cooperation and coordination problem with fuzzier and less definitive answers" und ist der Meinung Wisdow of the crowd wäre hier nicht direkt anwendbar.
