OK, that's fair. But it's the same problem - those people have access to different data and experiences than the others, so their job should be to educate the others. Or, the others will soon discover for themselves (perhaps during prototyping) what the minority knew about that they didn't. It's still not about a popularity contest.

Sounds a lot like the
