Some people who accumulated various good intuitions over decades created a bow, an iron plow and knew planets from stars.
Some people who started validating their intuitions with real measurements gave us steel ships, cantilever bridges and moon rockets.
These achievements were not a result of majority of people having the same intuition.
The higher rated their comment is, the more other people likely intuited the same.
It’s almost a decent measure of how obvious the thing being proven actually was — assuming you could baseline it and compare it to others in a meaningful way.
