Numbers do affect the outcome.
Sometimes its just so unfair when some fantastic ideas cannot be appreciated by the majorities and ended up being scraped or put off. The reason why the majority always wins is because in a sense, it benefits more people (the majority) and vice versa.
But somehow I feel that, this trend is
limiting creativity. For example, you have a team of members to create a project. So you propose a fantastic idea that is so appealing, however,
MAJORITY of your team members maybe like 7/10 rejected that idea because they are lazy and finds the idea too tedious. Therefore a vote was raised up, and of course, the idea got put away as they voted for something simpler.
So its like, this simple emotional feeling in the majority (
selfishness) may end up just wrecking the future of the group. It may affect your marks, or business or whatever. I'm not saying rejecting ideas = confirm fail. What I'm trying to say is, we should all give our best, if you are going to put off someone elses idea, the best reason to do it would be because you came up with a
BETTER one, and not because of a SIMPLER one.
And also, one point here is to get
like-minded people into your group of network, meaning people with the
same vision. A common goal to work for, so that each one would be able to walk and not be a burden for people to drag you along. You can't have a team of half slackers and half workaholic, they don't match. People with different talents and skills doesn't mean they don't share the
same vision.
In the past, people say Singaporean (actually not only us..) too "Kiasi" (afraid to die/risk), in some way, its still true for now. Now people only play the game and try to SURVIVE in it, but even kids know that we play a game and we play to
WIN!
The majority's decision may overrule the minority's (surely) but lets hope that some day, this method of decision making can be overthrown by a better one.

[ life is like a marathon, you started with the will to finish the race, but halfway through or even at the beginning, you start to pant and grasp for air, and your environment distracts and tries to pulls you away from the race, making tons and tons of excuses in your mind, you wish to give up. BUT, are you born a
LOSER? Who likes to lose? No one, but why is it that nobody wish to win? Winning not in the sense of champion of the race, but completing the race(dreams). ]
( This post is not written to direct any argument/comments on anyone, but this is my personal thoughts on the topic. So if anyone out there got offended by this post, then maybe its time to reflect? Oh well, I know throughout this post, I got a little off topic, but hey, I don't restrict the ideas/words generating in my brain, one topic just leads to another, doesn't it? )cheers,
