A committee does not work by simply voting its own technical knowledge.
Instead it listens to, and discusses, the various opinions and facts, 
and synthesizes a decision, much as a court of appeals proceeds. Such a 
court does not need to be composed entirely of experts in the domain of
decision. Actually a committee composed entirely of domain deep experts 
can sometimes fail to see the larger picture.
