There is a natural limit to the amount of work any one body can do. Sure a "carpenter company" can make more houses than a single carpenter in a given time span, but that is because they employ more than one carpenter not through some magic business efficiency. But I'm also not arguing what you want me to argue either. I'm not saying that "leveraging synergies" is worthless, just that it is worth less. If we are to ascribe value to production and utility, those who can do are the top of the heap.
