This is speculation, not data and doesn't belong here IMO.

Data regarding people’s perceptions is data none the less. OP even gave us a good explanation of what the data means, which I appreciate.

Hey u/Eascen, yeah you're totally right, this is data from speculation - I thought it was beautiful but of course that's subjective. I'm always fascinated by this stuff because I think it's interesting that non-experts can collectively produce more accurate predictions than any one individual, and just how that pattern seems to hold across a wide range of fields. Has some philosophical implications :)
