These are good points. I would suggest that we are all, at times, both intro- and extroverts, and all of us occasionally will go off on their own and bring back goodness. But we all "bring back", which I think is key. We all work towards a common goal and have created a way in which intro- and extroverts can contribute equally and equally obtain merit.
