The first time I read "Solar Lottery" by P. K. Dick I thought "there's no way this lottery system could work for selecting authorities."

But as I read on, the Minimax system sounded surprisingly similar to some real scientific concepts, so I investigated and realized it wasn't such a stupid idea - just one with no chance of being implemented.

Now I'm reading about it here, thank you for reminding me of that concept!
