Sure, that's what I was trying to convey in the paragraph after D. That said, I think that even for a company Google's size, having those different skill sets will be useful as your business ages. Google will probably always need a number of people that have memorized every data structure known to humanity, but they would probably be better set up to avoid stagnation and continue in a position of market dominance into the future if they also have a set of people who can come up with new things and implement them.

But also maybe it's better that those people don't end up at Google et al. and that these gigantic companies stagnate and eventually die because their corporate bureaucracy/scar tissue prevents them from hiring the people who can prevent them from stagnating and dying? I dunno, haven't really fleshed this idea out too much.
