Nicholar Carr has got it wrong. Open Source follows Bazaar model and it is
democratic

| the barrier to the entry in the case of Wikipedia is very low compared
| to that of Linux. Any Tom, Dick and Harry, with an internet connection,
| can add/edit/change the Wikipedia content whereas you need a higher
| level of understanding, of operating systems and programming, to even
| participate in the development of Linux. This higher barrier to the
| entry is the main reason for the high quality of Linux rather than
| any imagined bureaucracy.

The Enderle shill recently used this comparison to discredit Linux and Open
Source. Another shill professor recently got caught doing some dirty work
for Microsoft. Be alert.
