<p>I agree. Nowhere did I say this was not the case. I don’t really have much to say to the rest of your strawman argument, except that it is extremely possible to have talented people work together effectively and deliver products (while getting paid really well).</p>
<p>Possible, yes. Just not likely (to accumulate a team of talented people who work effectively while getting paid really well). That has been my experience after 3 decades in consumer electronics R&D…</p>
<p>Think of the 3 different parts of this:</p>
<ul>
<li>team of talented people… </li>
<li>working together effectively…</li>
<li>deliver products while getting paid really well…</li>
</ul>
<p>I’ve seen all three happen - just not all three at once, not very often :D</p>
