Yes that is my current thinking to.  The points system accounts for 
deltas in team velocity and actual productivity.  As long as your 
stories are consistently estimated, the fact you crack off some 
stories faster will be reflected in the team velocity.

I agree.  I am just trying to reconcile this with Kent's 
accountability statement. Does this team based approach lower 
individual accountability.

Does it matter?
Does anyone care about individual vs team productivity?
I don't - but management might.
