 What all these models suggest is that it is distributed networks of communication between investigators, rather than full and immediate communication between all, that will—or at least can—give us more accurate scientific outcomes. In the seventeenth century, scientific results were exchanged slowly, from person to person, in the form of individual correspondence. In today’s science results are instantly available to everyone. What these models suggest is that the communication mechanisms of seventeenth century science may be more reliable than the highly connected communications of today. Zollman draws the corollary conclusion that loosely connected communities made up of less informed scientists might be more reliable in seeking the truth than communities of more informed scientists that are better connected  (Zollman 2010b).
