Yes but still in wikipedia the really good articles still came from a specific person who had deep knowledge of the subject. I think the real gains here come from the freedom that comes from the destruction of beaureaucracy. It's not magic and it's dangerous to make the assumption that consensus is truth since in certain cases (scientific) one piece of hard evidence is worth more than any number of uninformed opinions about a topic.

the resulting opinion from the so called "hard evident" is the truth you'r advocating, but what happens when the judge disagree? and million people vote against it, and only 3 for it.
is it truth?
it's your truth. it's not THE truth. There Are Only Preservatives.
and as long as people can be dictated and told about The Truth, they can be ruled.
By political regimes rewriting history, by the Fed based monetary system or even by Matter it self.
Is the physical world the highest consensus for it?
