"One way of writing a book by a committee is to restrict its contents to the
intersection of the various opinions; it is a technique that tends to lead to
short texts of high quality, and has the advantage that in the case of a
sufficiently diverse committee, it leads to no text at all."  E. W. Dijkstra
