I have no formal credentials to say this, but intuitively I feel this is obviously wrong. You couldn’t have taken 50 rats brains and “mixed” them and expected the result to produce new science.

For some uninteresting regurgitation, sure. But size - width and depth - seems like an important piece for ability to extract deep understanding of the universe.

Also, MoE, as I understand it, will inherently not be able to glean insight into, nor reason about, and certainly not be able to come up with novel understanding, for cross-expert areas.

I believe size matters, a lot.
