Well, not me! Science is not a democracy. We don't interview people in
the street to determine if a neutron is heavier than a proton, or what the 100th decimal of the number pi is.

At best, you could use this method to determine the CV rating of the
interviewed people. But even if a million people would think that piece A
is worth more than piece B, and none the other way around, that doesn't
make it so. The only thing that counts is if A makes you win more often
than B would. If it doesn't, than it is of lower value. No matter what people say, or how many say it.
