OK.  But by making that argument, you've ceded the necessary assumption within 
your original argument.  At this point, we're agreeing on the gist and 
disagreeing on minor embellishments.  Teams, in the overwhelming majority of 
cases, increase the individual agency/power of the team members.  As Steve 
said, the article didn't really teach us anything new.  But one wonders at the 
persistent false attribution of success and failure to individuals alone, or 
further, the false dichotomy between the collective and the individual.

All roads leading to Rome does not imply sufficiency of transportation in general.  At

like a road so that I don’t have to take a camel from Casablanca", and then they'd 
look at the map and see that Pisa lacked a road to Rome.  Pisa being closer to Rome, that 
road gets built instead.
