Averaging Information Is Not Cutting It Anymore

“Rescuing Collective Wisdom When The Average Group Opinion Is Wrong” is an article that pokes fun at the fanaticism running rampant in the news.  Beyond the fanaticism in the news, there is a real concern with averaging when it comes to data science and other fields that heavily rely on data.

The article breaks down the different ways averaging is used and the different theorems that are developed from it.  The introduction is a bit wordy but it sets the tone:
