Surowiecki - Experts? Not a fix

Surowiecki's position is that the aggregate decision of a wise crowd will consistently be better than any member - including 'expert' members.

This is not to say that the group can ignore or exclude experts - a group includes everyone.

Citizendium not only is set up to be dependent on experts - it doesn't even appear that it will use the group to select the experts it depends on.

It's plain that the inclusion of experts in the Citizendium process is an attempt to get around a lot of inherent problems in the Wikipedia process - but this decision seems like an attempt to patch a broken process instead of create a new process that would eliminate the source of the problems.
