it is my experiance the more smart people you add to a team the lower the collective IQ becomes

Once you get up to around 20+ people on the team, the collective IQ of that teams drops to level where stupid things like this happen...

Nothing good from development by committee, this appears to be a project that was developed by committee

I'm not sure it's about developers. Just consider - a pointy haired boss returns from a meeting and says "it's decided - make it show our sales-boosting popup here".

Rather than arguing, I guess, many (who haven't left for one reason or another) would just go with "uh, whatever" attitude and slap something together just enough for PHB to see that popup (and let customer complaints do the rest).
