It is quite possible because when you have several people involved, there
should be communication among them. You might have heard the joke that the
camel is a horse design by a team. Communication and mutual understanding
are major issues in teamwork. Interpersonal communication requires that
concepts are defined as clearly as possible (in order to assure mutual
understanding), which in turn contributes to more rigor and if you want,
rigidity. Arts allow for softer methodology because in that area the idea
generation function is fulfilled by only one person (usually).
