Parallel jobs are great (the map step)... but you generally need a reduce step as well.

If you at all try to be a neutral player in a partisan world, you quickly notice that each faction does a curious filter before the reduce. Its a filter that keeps the worst arguments/conclusions of the opposition and discards the best, before they can be compared. And for the in-group, it keeps the best and discards the worst.

Only after that, is there a (metaphorical) reduce. And lo and behold (drum roll...) their own ideology wins! How comforting and reassuring! You were right all along!

But the major league, all-star team is playing against a team from the t-ball league (relatively speaking).
