None of the above. They said that the whole was "different" than the sum of the 
parts, not "greater." One of my favorite undergraduate professors actually made 
this point in my history and systems class and it stuck with me all these 
years. I've seen a few references to this misunderstanding as well in various 
sources that I can't locate at the moment, though the name Engelman is coming 
to mind as one of them for some reason.
