No, that's not true.
Take the most intelligent 100 people you know, put them in a room, and
ask them to make a series of decisions based on majority vote.
Next, take a random person from those 100 persons, and ask him/her to
make the same series of decisions in a totaliran method.
in almost any conceivable way, the later will produce better, more
"intelligent", decisions than the former. The crowed phenomen say that
collective intelligence is ALWAYS lower.
That's why when Open Source projects work on the "first to do gets what
he wants" so much is achieved, while when we do "lets vote" so little is
achieved.
