"Of course, individuals from crowds can make false and erroneous claims. However, the beauty of crowdsourcing is that if a claim is indeed true, a large number of people would repeat and validate it, which would give the claim prominence and credibility." So they want to rely on thousands of people with no financial training to balance the books? If people rely on H&R Block to do their taxes do you really think they can spot "irregularities" in this massive amount of data? If they're collecting the data they can simply have the computers do it.
