Rational Choice is an expert Monte Carlo system
response to WillSea's post Psychohistory redux
Given N experts to predict an outcome in any scenario, the accuracy improves exponentially with the number of experts. Political polls fail because the people have irrational opinions, not rational predictions.
A poll asking even reasonable people who will win the election is a better predictor than asking them who they will vote for.
