That is not much of a change, really. The Manhattan Project should be as legendary for the genius wrangling as the results. As seen over previous years, the Dream Team formula for olympics basketball is not just 'put all the superstars together' -- and that's a team sport, where a superstar is inherently a team player. The genius is held up as an individual's ideal, but they are generally identified... because they're standing alone. Why does everyone assume the genius label is a positive? (Because it also gets applied to people who pulled ahead of the pack). Objectively applied, though, it is as often a curse. Watch Errol Morris' 'First Person' biographies (or at least read the wikipedia bios of) Christopher Langan and Rick Rosner. These are 'geniuses' who I wouldn't want to work with or be. Heck, post-Enron, the phrase 'smartest guy in the room' often sounds like an insult or a character smear.
