EmpiricalRequires evidence
Collective sensing usually fails at joining what is already known, not at gathering it. Before 9/11 the FBI held a Phoenix memo on bin Laden sending students to flight schools and had arrested Moussaoui, while other agencies held his al-Qaeda link; the facts were never connected, partly because rules blocked sharing between agencies.

Part of the reason these two pieces of information were not connected has to do with restrictions on sharing information between agencies like the CIA and FBI.
