Reading the “Wisdom of Crowds” didn’t leave me with a definitive answer. One of our countries founding principals is that the decision making powers should rest in the hands of the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of the government. This system works for us (most of the time). This article talked about how crowds make good and accurate decisions, but I believe this can only be true in certain situations like “guess how many jelly beans are in this jar” as opposed to letting a group of people figure out how to fly a plane.
It’s a toss up and there is no clear cut way to say this is when a crowd should decide vs. a single person.
