   Expertise is overrated, what makes us strong is diversity. This idea reflects this through and through. I guess in some realms, its an accurate description of what’s really going on.

   Groups of diverse problem solvers can outperform groups of high-ability problem solvers

   We introduce a general framework for modeling functionally diverse problem-solving agents. In this framework, problem-solving agents possess representations of problems and algorithms that they use to locate solutions. We use this framework to establish a result relevant to group composition. We fin... Read more

   Interesting. I guess the law of averages has been debunked plenty enough by now, things don’t even out at all, and you never know where you may end up.

   The law of averages is a lay term used to express a belief that outcomes of a random event will “even out” within a small sample.
