ashley,
i was merely posting the explanation of the condorcet statistical proof. i don't believe that the millionaire game is a good example in the context of the author's argument and, i agree with you, it does not have much relevance here. i was responding to peter's request.
on the other hand, if we could find 1000 dispassionate, scientifically knowledgeable, financially astute, analytically rigorous people, then i believe condorcet's statistics would be relevant. or failing that goal, i wonder what the statistics would tell us about having a group of 50 people who, rather than being 51% right, were 60% right.
