As an extreme example, it would obviously be bad if a project founder was telling each of their dozen staff that their personal contributions were absolutely critical, such that they each imagined that they were personally credited with the majority of the impact from the project
Even if that were the true counterfactual in each case, it could easily lead to everyone staying working on the project when it would be better for the entire project to fold and release them to do other things
Here I think the idea of Shapley values is relevant and perhaps useful (though I don’t think I fully understand the concept or its usefulness myself).
Yeah, Shapley values are a particular instantiation of a way that you might think the implicit credit split would shake out. There are some theoretical arguments in favour of Shapley values, but I don’t think the case is clear-cut. However in practice they’re not going to be something we can calculate on-the-nose, so they’re probably more helpful as a concept to gesture with.
