You're completely right. From the comments/feedback, sounds like I generalized here a bit. I 100% believe in doing what you're passionate about / what you love. If that means contributing to a team of 1000, or a team of 1, so be it -- the "cog" is simply someone who isn't doing what they want to be doing, or isn't taking the steps to get there.
