er...following that logic.
If I trust all 4/5 of my money in the resource sector, why not trust 
100% or it. There is no need to invest in High tech, or real estate, or 
manufacturing, or banking..etc...

In personal economics a diversified portfolio helps reduce risk, I see 
no reason why in fractional asset should not follow the same logic. by 
diversifying the people or groups you give your votes to you reduce risk 
of your vote being corrupted.
