This is true, but the members also weren't spending every day together for 
those forty years.  This may have been the case for the first 6 or 7, but 
then some hiatuses began to creep in, and they became progressively longer as 
the years went by.  Darryl Kile had teamates who spent every single day, 
about 2/3 of the year, for several years with Kile.  Other teams form closer 
bonds, such as in college basketball, where athletes spend sometimes every 
waking moment together for four years.  Hank Gathers dropped dead in the 
middle of a game, and they didn't cancel their season because hank wouldn't 
have wanted that, and too much was at stake for too many people, as with the 
2002 Who.
