Actually, after coming across a digusting article relating to autism on the Daily Mail, I'd like this thread removed if possible please. It doesn't warrant worthwhile news, and I really really would like it removed from the important section about news.
If anyone does read this thread, please be aware that the Daily Mail is a sensationalist uk newspaper with a reputation (well deserved) for provoking reactions in people. It does not report in a balanced way at all.

I was going to comment about the questionable reporting that newspaper does, but I refrained, as I didn't feel it was necessary. Did you not realize that this article came from The Daily Mail when you initially posted it? (I'm not criticizing you; I'm just genuinely confused.)
This whole thread was supposed to be light hearted, but since discovering that the Mail ran such a disgusting article by an ignorant reporter, I want to remove any reference to that pile of garbage newspaper from AC!
The good news is that the offending article has caused a huge outcry, the bad news is that the paper has done nothing about it. Grr!

Oh, it was sarcasm . . . d'oh. I usually get sarcasm when I hear it in person, but it's so difficult to interpret when it's just in online text.
Well, I think crowds making decisions isn't a good idea anyway. But, light hearted rather than sarcastic? Tongue in cheek perhaps? It's hard sometimes to interpret text only communications, and I've seen some instances of things being misinterpreted badly leading to rows on AC. It happens sometimes, but easy to fix

I agree with your contempt of the Daily Mail.
But i do also agree with the idea within the original article that crowds snuff out genius.

The article is also in The Daily Telegraph
Too many cooks really do spoil the broth - Telegraph
and National Geographic:
The Wisdom of (Little) Crowds – Phenomena: The Loom
The abstract of the original article:
Decision accuracy in complex environments is often maximized by small group sizes
