Collective Intelligence: Group Decision-Making Benefits
Collective intelligence explains how groups can make better judgments than individuals in various tasks.
What was corrected
The article said ant colonies produce globally optimal paths, prediction markets consistently outperform experts, and Tetlock established a universal finding that crowds outperform expert consensus.
Qualified each claim to what the underlying research supports (near-optimal rather than global optimum; frequent rather than consistent outperformance; tournament-specific rather than universal).
Why this is better
These were reasonable summaries stated more absolutely than the research supports. Corrections add the appropriate qualifications rather than adding new sources.
