Jan 17, 2018 at 23:15 comment added Mateusz Kwaśnicki Oh, this seems to be much harder! Unless perhaps $m = 1$ (a relatively non-huge number), which is a somewhat natural model in genetics, I believe.
Jan 17, 2018 at 18:17 comment added Hauke Reddmann Very fascinating! I wonder what happens when you replace "each node draws a random number having the majority" by "each node looks a huge number m of times on a random opinion from the array and counts which opinion came most often in this set". Now also a minority report could survive, although with very low probability.

added numerical evidence
Jan 15, 2018 at 14:27 comment added Hauke Reddmann My university computer is faster :-) Looks like your estimation is correct, but your n too low. Until 10^7, E still rises to the above 3-1/e (2.6-2.65). But for n=10^8, I found 2.44. My stats module says my values are trustable up to +-0.1, so the effect is significant. (I get numerical and time problems if I try to still go higher. Number theoretic aspects seem not so relevant - 10^7+-1 has no effect vs. 10^7.)
