"Convergence" is only true when you use the average of a very narrow distribution. If you take a very complex and multi-dimensional topic like design, ask a bunch of people their opinions and use the average, at best they'll parrot back what they've "learned" is good, and at worst you end up with a product that doesn't embody the collective desires of the group but the ho-hum middle that doesn't satisfy or offend anyone.
>> Things don't need to be different just for the sake of being different. Because different can also be worse.
Different is worse for the majority and that's a good thing, because it can then be really, really good for a small subset. If we repeat this everyone can get something really good, and have things they really dislike. This is the world I want to live in, emphasis on the living part.
