But we aren't talking about how a person can be more effective. We are talking about a mob of people. Dealing with a mob is completely different than dealing with a person. If a single person says some feature sucks and has nothing else to back up that opinion then the person will most likely be ignored. However, if a hundred people say some feature sucks then people take notice whether or not these people have anything to back up that claim with.
