>But say you put 5 Einsteins together, before he invented his theories. Do you think that his discovery process would go 5x faster? Does the team-einstein suddenly get 5x smarter?
Maybe not, but it sure as hell be more than "1 Einstein unit" smarter. Whether that's 1.2 or 5 depends on various elements, but it surely would beat a single Einstein, if not by anything else, by mere ability to break down a problem to study in parts and assign it to each Einstein.
I mean, that's the reason we have research teams with multiple researchers on the same team.
