What it means to be part of the team

Or, ..Highlighting the importance of being a Team Player:-

"..Dong Choi’s battle with the plate-tectonic establishment came to a
head in the late 1980s, when he was working for the Australian Bureau
of Mineral Resources (now Geoscience Australia). He prepared a
manuscript presenting evidence that Precambrian continental crust was
present under the northwestern Pacific, and that a paleoland had
existed there in the Paleozoic to Mesozoic. He based this conclusion
on dredging and deep-sea drilling data, seismic profiles,
paleogeography, and the geology of the Japanese Islands. However, the
Chief of his Division told him that if he published the paper, he
would have “no room to stay with us,” while the Chief Scientist
accused him of doing “bad science” and reminded him that he was on
contract. Choi published his article in the Journal of Petroleum
Geology (Choi, 1987), and quit the organization soon afterwards
(personal communication, May 2005). An editorial comment described the
article as “quite revolutionary ... almost certainly the precursor of
the future in seismic exploration and tectonic interpretation.”
