Jim McCarthy made that observation while he was a manager at Microsoft (not a management consultant, though after he left MS he became one). He's absolutely right - dudes alone in a room all too often are doing the wrong thing very effectively.

That feels pretty resolvable without forcing everyone to work in each other's lap wearing huge headphones.

In my experience daily standups are often enough to keep everyone on the same page and make sure no one is dashing off in the wrong direction.
