"The point of the article (and even, to a lesser extent, the research cited) is that teams enlarge the solution space, increase the degrees of freedom.  With a team, there are more paths to success than with an individual.  And often, those paths are occult. "

And there are even more occult paths to success without the team, if a larger solution space is considered to be better, and the same set of people follow their noses as independent agents.   Looking around in a solution space isn't free.  Each experiment takes some time and energy.
