Horizontal axis is the number of people with partial knowledge. Vertical axis is the percent of knowledge available. Horizontal lines represent a single expert, while curved lines represent a group of people who share their knowledge.
From the figure above we can see that, if all knowledge is equally accessible to all people (admittedly a strong assumption), 15 people each with a random sample of 10% of all knowledge have as much knowledge as a single expert with a random sample of
80% of all knowledge. I find that interesting...
