Sounds like a T-Cell. However, it should be noted that, while all T-Cells
start out the same, they eventually specialize. Why should an organization
composed of such cells behave any differently? For that matter, why isn't
the entire earth filled with amoebas?
I love Robert Heinlein. But, like Albert Einstein, he was only a man, and
not always right.

specialization is what allows a species to survive and excel in any
given ecosystem.
overspecialization in that same ecology makes them vulnerable to
significant shifts in the supporting systems.
where does that leave .net programmers? ;-)

(a colleague just told me she firmly believes that cobal programmers
will always have a job in the financial industry because those
mainframe systems and archives are so data-intensive that there is no
business case - read garunteed ROI - for changing the codebase.)
