I agree with you, but we just weren't discussing it.
My main point is it is possible for individuals to do great things. The gap between that and 75,000 person companies is not just huge, it's massive.
Honestly, what investors will or won't fund isn't that interesting to me because it seems to be root of lots of short sightedness. Investors have concerns antithetical (in many cases) to building great stuff.
My belief is the market's reliance on investors has biased what is or isn't possible. If so many people weren't concerned about what they would fund, we'd probably see more solo founders and we'd probably see more success there. With investor money around, there's less reason to do that, unless you are a masochist.
But yeah, most projects aren't single person, and groups have advantages even if they can be.
