Conjecture

Communication density has a cost that runs against the benefit claimed for it: social influence can reduce the diversity of independent estimates while raising confidence without raising accuracy, so a shared narrative can erase the cognitive diversity the collective relies on. Density must therefore be treated as a quantity with an optimum rather than a good to be maximised.
