So you’re saying that the only obstacle to effective collective decision-making is the withholdiing of relevant information?

I think you meant “the ability to learn” because you’re not getting better answers from groups of non-physicists about the geometries of black holes than from individual experts regardless of how much information you give them

Sooooo… are you suggesting that individual physicists would be better off working in isolation? That must be what you are suggesting… since nothing that I have said suggested anything about groups of people making collective decisions about matters that are completely arbitrary.
