Time and again research has shown that people think of more new ideas on their own than they do in a group.

There were some good points in that piece, especially about individuals thinking that group ideas are their own, but I don't think the conclusion is valid. Or at least it's too simplistic.

It depends on what is meant by "more." If you're looking at productivity, the number of ideas per person, then you'd get more working alone. But you will get ideas in groups that you wouldn't get otherwise because a glimmer can be turned into an idea through the dynamics of a group. Both individuals and groups can produce ideas. Ideally, IMO, you do some of each to maximize the number of ideas.
