Unfortunately the humans in reference here are supposed to be the best of the lot. This brings in the eternal question during times of crisis ,how are the best very different than the mediocre or the average?

If not then with little hard work and smart work here and there any body can beat these 'best' during non crisis times. And during the crisis time all are same any way.

Probably that's why there are a lot of successful companies even with average talented people.
