While I do not agree with Eric Raymond very often, he couldn't
have said things better when he came up with:

	"All of us are smarter than any of us"

Progress is made through collaboration, sharing ideas with
each other and incrementally improving on each other's ideas.

Suggesting that the scientific principles of publication and
peer review are detrimental to engineering is nothing short
of ludicrous, in my opinion.
