Well, you may have 50 people who, at one time or another, will
make contributions/decisions on the committee, but I don't think
you will hardly ever have all 50 people contributing at once.
When making a decision concerning architecture of the system, you
only have developers whose subsystems are directly effected making
decisions...

Yeah, probably so, but I think most people perceived that you
meant there would be an "elite" group of designers who turned the
design over to a "non-elite" group of developers to "code". While
this was probably not what you meant, it nonetheless has hit a
nerve.
