This reads like a person was asked if Tech Leads were necessary, felt the answer was "no", found research to the contrary, and wrote their own counter-argument paper. Do I agree with the premise that tech leads aren't necessary if you have a functional, harmonious team? Sure. But I feel that this paper spent as much time as I did coming to that conclusion, and with just as little consideration of what a tech lead could potentially bring to a team - even one that already works well.
