Aggregation needs comparable final answers

The approach depends on enough diversity between samples and an answer that can be compared or aggregated. Open-ended research questions are harder to reduce to a simple vote than a calculation with a clear final value.

An original evaluation should count the extra generation cost and inspect shared failures. If every sample relies on the same false assumption, voting can make the wrong answer look more confident.

THE TAKEAWAY

What to remember

Verify the selected answer independently.
