Maybe I'm mistaken, but I don't think it's patents as a whole, that people are against. Rather, it's the way patent law is being handled in corporate America.
Actually, you're the first one to mention "ah-ha" moments. Mike's article is just describing how collaboration furthered innovation. He's NOT (that means he's NOT) taking anything away from orignial programmers/inventors. It's more of a "hooray-for-collaborative-innovation" article than anything else.
Which means you're arguing about a secondary issue....
"Actually, it's pretty simple. If 100 people made 90%, and 100 people made the last 10%, which one was more effecient?"
You're applying an efficiency quotient to innovation. Coming up with the platform/process/invention (whatever you wanna call it) in the first place may have been the "hard part", but that doesn't mean that improving upon it was any easier.
