One Mind Creates... The Group Should Only Apply the Spit and Polish

"Nothing was ever created by two men. There are no good collaborations, whether in music, in art, in poetry, in mathematics, in philosophy. Once the miracle of creation has taken place, the group can build and extend it, but the group never invents anything. The preciousness lies in the lonely mind of a man."
– John Steinbeck, East of Eden, Chap. 13, 1952
