Imagine a room full of people, not a big room (a large garage maybe) and they and cooperating to build something.
I don't think that is a good analogy for this thread...
Rather, a bar where a couple hundred random football fans are watching a game on TV and betting on it?

Maybe you're right, but don't forget to add the old guy in the corner saying "This 'football' thing will never catch on, you know"
