Short, but correct, to a point. "Knowledge isn't additive. It's not clay you pile. It's not sandbags on a levee. It doesn't obey volume. It compounds, condenses, crystallizes. And it does so slowly, painfully, across thousands of iterations." Twenty people with one year of experience don't equal one expert with 20 years of experience. But - twenty people with one year of experience in different things can rival an expert of twenty years, if they are communicating well enough. It's a different sort of knowledge, one based on breadth rather than depth, but no less useful. Via Mark Oehlert.
