 "Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It's quite simple, really: Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn't at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, so go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that's where you will find success." -- Thomas J. Watson
Big groups out-prioritize the work of single researchers when competing for resources.  Larger groups have a larger need for resources, can benefit more people, and can accomplish more with the same amount of time.  A one-man army is only a fractal unit of large groups and teams and can only put out a fraction of their work.  This increased competition only hinders your work and hinders your progress.

 Still not convinced?  Any advantages of the one-man army, if any, can be scooped up by collaboration in a new form: the Armada.  Smaller, previously established teams can branch off and accomplish whatever it is a single one-man army could achieve.  The fragmented collaborated becomes an Armada.  Failures by any singular member are buffered by the individual success of anyone.  Research may proceed in any direction.  The total time spent is the same as the one-man army, but they have exponentially increased opportunities for success and only need to succeed once to have progressed the research for the time-span.  An experiment from the one-man army takes as long as the collaboration to set up, but the individual only gets one chance at success.

 Do you operate with a one-man army?  What are your thoughts on its advantages and disadvantages?  Comment below!
