I came across it in this article. I find his articles interesting—you might enjoy browsing. The first one in the list below will be familiar to those who have read my shaving book—and to many others as well: it’s a well-known phenomenon.
I want to draw your attention to the second in the list, which relates quite directly to the “group drive” I’ve been mulling over. I probably read this back in August sometime, so my ideas may well have some of their origins in that article. (In fact, I think I’ve read of this experiment before—it’s a well-known study.)

Still: fascinating study and results.
