Quantity does not equal quality. In this case the Wisdom of the Crowds does not apply. The problems of modelling in an environment of chaos and non-linearity, never mind the issue of completeness, mean that modelling and the models are a help in understanding what's happening, but should be treated with great care, not as an oracle.
