the middlemost estimate expresses the vox populi). Galton's quotation from the end of this paper (given by Surowiecki on page XIII) actually refers to the surprising proximity of the median and the measurement, and not to the (much closer) agreement of mean and measurement (which is the context Surowiecki gives it in). The mean (only 1 pound, rather than 9, from the ox's weight) was only calculated in Galton's subsequent reply to a letter from a reader, though he still advocates use of the median over any of the "several kinds" of mean (Galton, Francis (1907-03-28). "Letters to the Editor: The Ballot-Box". Nature. 75 (1952): 509. doi:10.1038/075509e0. S2CID 3996739.
my proposal that juries should openly adopt the median when estimating damages, and councils when estimating money grants, has independent merits of its own); he thinks the median, which is analogous to the 50% +1 vote, particularly democratic.
