You know, sometimes it annoys me when sites like this give more credibility to SimExchange than VGC (as evidenced by not citing VGC). 'Wisdom of the masses' types of things only work if everyone is guessing rationally based on evidence.

For example, it would work if you guessing how many jelly beans are in a glass jar... you can see everything you need to know, and as long as people aren't just randomly guessing (that is, they put some reason into it). It isn't that good when people can(and do) completely make up the evidence they use...

Where do you think SimExchange people get their numbers??

 Well, out of the top of their heads *sometimes*.  And that 'sometimes' is what ruins 'wisdom of the masses'.
