Are you a fan of Formula One? Imagine assembling a team of world-class engineers: an aerodynamics specialist, a suspension authority, and an engine designer. Each is superb in their domain. Each can explain, in considerable detail, why their contribution is critical to the car's performance. And each is correct. But the car's success depends on something none of them controls alone: how well the components work together.
