While I agree that your statement is generally true, I think it's slightly off beat from the spirit of my story. Design by committee is essentially populism, and from my experience...you're right, it doesn't solve problems, it creates them. That said, anyone who is so arrogant as to simply block, restrict or ignore instead of openly engaging in discussion is no more successful. Oligarchy is no more desirable a system of government than is Populism. @Aknauta – Interesting comment.
