this does a good job of demonstrating the danger of crowd sourcing the evaluation of something - if the criteria of primary importance is difficult for the average person to evaluate then the crowd sourced evaluation is going to be garbage. now think about how that applies to security software that implements a reputation system. i don't really want to trust the unwashed masses about whether the file i just downloaded is safe or not - if they were so good at making that determination they wouldn't need the security software in the first place.
