“…Hypothesis formulation and validation can actually be quicker and more reliable if judgments interact, and complementary bits of information are brought into the field of attention. In other words, “more is less” (effort and time), rather than “less is more.” A case in point may be again drawn from the studies on military pilots (Grandori, 2015): pilots never fly alone, and they are obsessively trained to listen to co‐pilots, to neglect hierarchical grades and status games, and to behave like a single expanded brain, whereby scanning for possibly relevant signals is augmented and the likelihood of error reduced. - Qualified lotteries : rather than counting on the wisdom of crowds, Frey et al (2023) continue to build on ancient Greek wisdom (Zeitoun et al, 2014) in reminding us of that what we may count on is the wisdom of qualified crowds , in which the wisdom of knowledge and the wisdom of randomness are combined, whereas the random draw of decision makers can tone down fights based on selfish sub‐goal pursuit and pave the way to knowledge based, free‐minded “deliberative decision‐making” (Elster, 1989; Estlund, 2008).
