Derren Brown: Pushed to the Edge

[robvalue]

Well, unless Derren was being all tongue in cheek to those of us who know better, he was presenting the "wisdom of crowds" in an entirely irrelevant setting. He was either being stupid himself, or calling most of the audience stupid for expecting them to believe a single word of it.

I read his book a while ago, and a comment he made there leads me to think that his grasp of mathematics is poor, so I lean a bit more towards him not really understanding the concepts.

Compared to his other work, this was a resounding failure in all departments. But that's just my opinion.
