It is said that two heads are better than one, meaning that a group thinks better and makes wiser decisions than each member taken individually. For instance, the wisdom of the crowd phenomenon describes how large crowds can estimate something (the weight of an ox, in the most famous example) astonishingly close to reality, as revealed by averaging all
