Somebody always knows something. Somebody always knows somebody who knows something.

Distributed search through multiple contacts does not always provide tangible evidence. I, personally, would not take random sources over first hand evidence. A thousand monkeys on type writers and only a dozen providing credible information.

Have you ever noticed the large amount of people that will take an influential persons word at face value? What ever happened to trust but verify.

I don't understand your point if there is one.

Multiple sources makes the water muddy. With the large amount of people with easily influenced opinions, quick to judgement, I do not see any value in this approach.

If you look through old logs of a certain bulletin board how many did you see providing useful information? The 80/20 rule applies to this.

Ever heard of the game “telephone”?
