Biased and Noisy

Wherever there is judgment, there is noise.

You can collect independent judgments

And take the mean of all of them, and then

Call that the judgment, and you’ll do better

Than any judge ever did on their own.

Sadly, you’re on your own about most things

And lost in a lottery of judgments

Being made every moment by others

Whose decisions are biased and noisy.

Summed together, this yields one certainty.
