Conjecture
The distributed-knowledge argument and the assembly argument are one argument, not two, and Hidalgo supplies the joint. Products above roughly one personbyte of knowhow cannot be made by any individual and require a network holding complementary knowledge, and assembling such a network is itself constrained because it demands a relatively harmonious social structure rather than merely the right skills. So what capital assembles is not only complementary commitments but a network able to hold more knowhow than any person in it, which is why adding more agreeing models does not substitute for complementary expertise.
