There are many scenarios where you get exponential cost for logarithmic returns.
At the beginning they work great.
But they are fundamentally capped at some frustratingly low ceiling.

But if the swarm doesn't need to converge on one approach, the emergent approach can steadily accumulate more good ideas at a compounding rate.
