I was just using striping as an example that the collective wisdom of users of the "system" may statistically provide better solutions than so called "expert" engineers, that probably don't even exist when it comes to MMPs used by senior citizens. But because the anointed expert has an engineering degree, people tend to think his/her opinion is more "expert" than a bunch of people who may or may not have any credentials other than common sense and user experience. Not saying MMP striping is good or bad. Just throwing out the concept of crowd wisdom vs conventional expertise. I thought it was an interesting concept.
