I do believe that the peak of human organisation and collaboration is achieved by small groups of 5 to 6 people.
After that magic figure, groups quickly devolve into factionalism, politics, bureaucracy and inertia.
It's not a surprise that the sociology of small group is an under-researched topic, and all research is focused on trying to make people fit into unnaturally large hierarchies.
