The wisdom of crowds works when the crowd is choosing the price of an ox, when there's a single numeric average. But if it's a design or something that matters, the decision is made by committee, and that's crap. You want people and groups who are able to think thoughts before they share.

当群体选择一头牛的价格时，当只有一个数字平均值时，群体的智慧就会发挥作用。但如果是一个设计或一些重要的东西，决定是由委员会做出的，那就是废话。你希望人们和团体能够在分享之前先思考。
