That's not what I'm saying ... If something is going wrong, other people
in the project see that, then they should be allowed to help, shouldn't
they. (This under assumption there's something they can help with)

Disclaimer: I'm not saying the above applies to the topic in the

statement that people doing a certain job in the project are the only
ones who can judge they need help with that job.
