Counterpoint - you can go much faster if you get lots of people engaging with something and testing it. This is exploratory work, not some sort of ivory tower rationalism exercise, (if those even ever truly exist), there’s no compulsion involved, so everyone engaged does so for self-motivated reasons..

Don’t be mad!
