[Avodah] Birchat Hachama

[Rich, Joel]

I've heard it said that the ideal "B'rov Am Hadras Melech" is where not
only the multitude gathers together to do a mitzvah in unison, but they
do it via a single individual, i.e., by being yotzay together through
one person's saying it. I've also heard that although this is true
l'halacha, it is not viable l'maaseh: We fear that some people will not
have proper kavana and will not be yotzay unless they say it themselves.

Yet , as you point out, we do it by areas where we need the person's act
and generally someone gets up and says the shatz will have in
mind....and we should all have in mind.....
To me, if this explanation is correct, it implies brov am is a fairly
weak preference.
