Alright. Perhaps we're converging here. Small team is what I was thinking--I agree that as teams get larger they get more unmanageable and tend to produce less focused (and thus less efficient or pristine) results.

This has been a helpful discussion for me in terms of trying to get the gist of the Plan9 ideology.

There will always be exceptions.  Also, eadership can give a group an
identity very similar to individuality and I suspect this merely
confirms the statement you are commenting on.

And then there is the sheer size of groups and the competing interests
within any group, growing as the group grows.
