A study found in The Economist has shown that a group of minds working on single pieces of data, can together generate the statistical model used to represent a given sample. Note that it takes a group of people to be able to accurately predict the behaviour of something, not a single individual.
A collaboration of people, working to increase the sum of human knowledge, because the sum of accumulated knowledge is something that is greater than its parts.
*if* the reader can extract the true information out of it.
i don't think it's greater than the sum of all of it, more like, in this case, a blend of opinions, beliefs and hearsay.
it doesn't give you the true insight into a specific topic, like a real expert would have, but again it's not as useless as mainstream media. but one can always ask the question: is the expert's truth more 'true' than the layman's?
for getting started on a topic, it's great. for going deeper, it's not. and i just read an article, where personal beliefs and opinions clearly influenced the article. which is sad, well at least i think it is.
Once I had a guide to Blender and saw what the intent was with all the strange (or so they seemed to me) way things were done, it make sense and I was able to start working with it quickly.
i think there`s nothing more to say about blender than this. the learning curve is somewhat steep, but you can learn it quickly, but only with a manual. but then, it`s left hand on the keyboard, right hand on the mouse, and off you go. never had a better modelling tool. it will get you to your results more easily than 3DS, lightwave etc. even if you`re only doing 2D, or video editing (sound editing excluded).
for me, getting into some other specific tool for the task would take more time than just blendering it in a few minutes. though i preferred the 1.x interface without dropdown menus. and it`s opensource now.
but maybe he`s right, and we will all bow to those who bump into us on the street, telling us: "sorry, i was just approaching ILS RWY25 EDDS with FS2010! | sorry, i was coding! | damn, you cost me 10 frags!!! | uh, i am sorting spam, don`t bump into me!!!"

I really don't get it. Why do gamers only want sequels? Why are you so afraid to try something new?

sorry, now i know what i didn't get at first: "a group of minds working on single pieces of data" this study is forged.
