gollark: But intelligence as measured by IQ has gone up over time, Flynn effect and all, and so has education somewhat.
gollark: Not *always*.
gollark: There were also fewer of them working on problems like this than we have now, and they may have missed retrospectively-obvious things.
gollark: Tradition is *a* reason to think something might be better, but a fairly weak one, since the people of the past had rather different values, and not tools like computer simulations or more recent mathematical analyses of voting systems.
gollark: Also, yes, the context is quite different so reasons from then may not apply.
