What if a particular Wisdom Council develops Statements of the People that are “wrong” or that many people disagree with?
When as many as twenty four randomly selected people reach unanimity on one statement, most people will pretty much agree with what they say. But even if the Wisdom Council got it wrong one year, or was lacking in some crucial knowledge, the resulting Statements of the People would still work. They would create the desired dialogue. The media would be drawn to those who knew better or who disagreed and the public at large would become better educated.
