Its a cycle - at certain states in the bootup of the project, things work one way, like when a new project gets started it only gets growing because there are key individuals with lots of talent - but as the project grows, the cycle flow changes and it works because it attracts more people who may not necessarily be 'as talented' but nevertheless contribute in other ways, and this thus brings in new talent, and so on and around it goes. I would not cast such an absolute light on it as you seem to propose; these things are an active process, not manifest material.
