This distinction is key to the efficiency in delivery of simple, compact messages from the right where the bigheads do all the idea lifting and dissemination.  The risk here is if their prognostication is off-target (ex. the war analysis), they are painstakenly trapped in the support they promote for their ideas from the beginning.  Thus, they do not recover well from mistaken analysis and ride crises out with their sad cognitive dissonance.  

The left's message delivery is burdened by multi-faceted perspectives and heterogeneous voices that can leave an uninformed observer overwhelmed in the beginning.  However, once one moves to a dynamic view of this process the left's ability to evolve and adapt is clearly the more desirable system in terms of informing its base and developing shall we say "shock-resistant" strains of knowledge.

At present it may appear that the right enjoys an advantage in the battle between these two systems but I believe this is really an artifact of the short attention spans that have been cultivated by the previous media of message delivery.
