Prompted by both a tragic study on personality phrenology I saw today and by my current book revisions, I have a question

Where have you seen "individual" explanations given for software development outcomes when the REAL driver was group work?

E.g., heroes get the credit when the thing was really a team effort? Or people thinking your best skill is coding fast alone when really it's about collaboration? Any stories like that would be welcome as I chew on this
