I’m not so sure, there are quite a lot of groups that gather together, but not as many that trade off the community side in favour of epistemics (I imagine EA could be much bigger if it focused more on climate or other less neglected areas).
I also wouldn’t use the example of 20 vs 2, but with 10,000 people with average epistemics vs 1,000 with better epistemics I’d predict the better reasoning group would have more impact.
