The analysis

The retrieved literature (such as Arrow's foundational work and subsequent analyses on social choice and voting paradoxes) consistently supports the proposition that Arrow's impossibility theorem highlights fundamental flaws or limitations in aggregating individual preferences into a social preference order. Papers [0], [1], [4], and [9] directly discuss or rely upon the theorem and its implications for social choice theory, leaving no evidence against the claim.
