My simple explanation to myself is that group opinions may contain majority cycles (even if individual opinions do not). This is to me a natural explanation that covers most of these social ordering and voting related (seemingly paradoxical) problems. Majorities are meaningful also in cardinal voting systems since each majority can win the election if they agree to do so.
