Yes, the self-reliance aspect is something I didn't really talk about because I completely agree. I also think I may have bluntly focussed my answer on a specific type of team. I was thinking very much of project teams (I'm a member of very many, and leader for some). The dynamic is obviously very different for teams in a sporting sense.
I completely agree with you that the inclusivity of "team-only-mindedness" allows people to hide behind the team and also not develop certain strengths that are required as individuals. I've nothing against team sports but I'd hate to live in a world where they were valued above individual sport for very dodgy reasons.
Is it normal that I think "Team minded people" are weak?

Interesting post, by the way.
