> On the other hand, that very fact of their working partly in isolation means that creative individual technicians come up with ways of doing things that nobody else had thought of; so it cuts both ways. Too authoritative (or standardized) a body of accepted techniques might stifle the creativity. In these days of the internet, we may have the best of both worlds. I agree completely that the sharing of our bright ideas is a good thing. But I've long been impressed in this work with how many equally good ways there can be of accomplishing a similar result.
