Good read but it seems to me that the author escapes the difficulty of his side of the argument by creating a God-like super-architect. Hiring someone with the level of talent the author is describing would probably lead to great outcomes no matter what. If the team structure is broken that person would fix it. I'm not very familiar with the debate but I'd like to see a structure that works for the "average" architect since most people are probably closer to that.
Interesting point of view, never thought along these lines. On the other hand, thinking a bit about it - I don't feel that this approach requires a super-architect; what it requires is a DECENT architect (which is a prerequisite for any successful project anyway).
In other words - sure, architect should be one of the best coders - but if he isn't, the project is doomed anyway (and having "the best of the bunch" is always possible - by definition).
