This is for why so many project teams experience difficulties. Its not that any member is incompetent in their own field, frequently quite the contrary. But each specialist speaks their own 'language' of their individual specialism. Assembling such a team would result in a committee analagous to having the united nations without any translators. It simply cannot work. For interdisciplinary research to be successful, translators have to sit right in the middle of the project and help steer it in directions which are beneficial to all.
How abundant such interdisciplinary people are.....I suspect not as many as the number of such collaborations.
