<<I don't know why Dr. Dewar insists on making the
point that if a programmer is made the ultimate one
responsible for some task, then this implies the collapse
of the team spirit and the immediate termination of
the cooperation between people working in the same project.

There is a *world* of difference between a group of people cooperating
with one another, and a team. Of course no software project can possibly
succeed if people do not cooperate. And some team spirit must indeed be
there.

But it sounds like you have never really worked in a project where the
kind of ideals I propose are even approximated. That's clear from your
claim that it could not work. In fact, as people know who *have* worked
in this kind of environment, it *does* work, and it works extremely well.
I hope you get to experience this some time!
