I wasn't really comparing per se, my angle was much more generic than that: 47 unaffiliated humans in the same room is too large a number for that group to be doing a good job at running/managing whatever it is they're asked to run/manage. (There are parallels with a board of directors, but that's only because a board of directors also happens to be a bunch of humans in a room who have to take decisions together.)
My social circle, we've organically noticed this over the years - our threshold for "okay, this isn't going anywhere, let's delegate the plan-making to this subgroup and we'll all go with whatever they decide" is MUCH lower than 47.
