Oh yeah. The fundamental problem of the Wikipedia
method is that
massive collaboration is *hard*.
"Massive" collaboration generally only occurs in project space. In the
course of editing an article or suite of related articles you'll
probably collaborate with a few dozen people at the most, and usually
a lot fewer.
That's relevant for probably the 10th percentile editors and very
focused people in the 1 percentile editors; the 0.1 percentile editors
with roughly 40% of total contributions are almost necessarily playing
with their fingers in dozens of pies simultaneously.
