Ugh, really? We're going to bring corporate buzzwords to the Beatles now?
Lennon and McCartney had perfectly complementary qualities.
When Paul would write "I've got to admit it's getting better", John would add "It can't get no worse".
Paul is a great multi instrumentalist and has a great ear for melody, while John had lees musicianship but was a subtler and sometimes wickedly funny lyricist.

That is what capitalism is attempting to do with everything.

That is distinctly reminiscent of Matt Taibbi's take on Goldman Sachs: > The first thing you need to know about Goldman Sachs is that it’s everywhere. The world’s most powerful investment bank is a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money. --- https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/the-great-american-bubble-machine-195229/ https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/the-grea...
