You'll find that I believe VCs say many things that don't necessarily make sense. They do invest in people, but really, they invest in teams. That team has to work well together.
I very much believe that a solid team of developers (not a huge team) is WAY more than the sum of it's parts. There is not enough that can be said about a great team dynamic of very good programmers over bad or even typical team dynamic of "rockstars." Further, rockstars, in my experience, tend to exacerbate organizational dynamic issues.
