'10x researches can try out 10x approaches'

Can they though, and is that helpful? Is there sufficient communication between everyone in the field to ensure no one is investigating the same things? Is that still 10x, given the communication overhead in ensuring what you're wanting to start doing isn't already being worked on by one of the 9999 others? Are their 10x as many approaches that can be investigated in parallel at all times?

The lessons from the mythical man month still apply even with research.

Those are all general thoughts and results would be different for different problems. Some can be parallelized for millions of people, some can not be at all. Parallelization is as much about throughput as latency. Nine women can not gestate a child in one month, one can apparently gestate eight in nine months.
