It would be surprising if someone that high-performing weren't promoted into a different role. My claim isn't that such differences don't exist among people... only that we don't say such a group is "collaborating&

You can abuse it the point of meaningless, but I'd guess most people don't. If you are committed to practicing every day, it's a motivator, and the streak freezes are nothing more than a bit of leniency for cases where som

I get where you're coming from. Honesty, and raw criticism of things that deserve it, is valuable. I think sarcasm, though, is rarely the right tactic. Sarcasm is, most of the time, the mode of either impotence or petty resentment. I
