\"Why is it, Master, that ascetics fight with ascetics?\"
\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"

http://www.news.cornell.edu/stories/Jan11/factions.html-When we were forming our clinic, I looked at research papers on group formation. Doctors have huge egos and this is what was reported: up to five indiviuals will work well. The 5-14 area of growth is the most problematic. Egos really start to play a role,but above 14-15, egos are deluted out and the group survives. Our group get to 10 and fell apart. Some of us remained together, but never more than four. When I retired, my partner pulled in others whose groups had fallen apart, but he rented to them, held the reins, and now there are six working together with the benefits of a partnership, but he is the owner, and each earns his own income. It is interesting that group dynamics have yielded to math!
