I concede that I was mistaken in saying it was no argument; I will agree with the position that it is a very weak one and is often outweighed by other arguments.
Majority vote is useful specifically in determining who has power because of the extremely high level of adversarial dynamics, but in contexts that are not as wildly adversarial (including most specific decisions that an institution makes) generally other decision-making algorithms are better.
