I would argue that some teams already do this. Displays in pits, community outreach projects, rookie team mentorship, live blogs and webcasts all display this.
In every reveal video I've seen this year, there has been a collage of still photos of people working on designs or parts or assemblies. I would estimate that in less than 4% of these pictures, a non-pre-college-student is the one holding the tools. The evidence is out there, people just choose to ignore it to suit their conspiracy fantasies.
Given, JVN does blog a lot about himself spending a lot of time in front of his CAD machine, but I don't recall him ever saying he was alone, or the designs were solely by him. I rather got the feeling he was working with students, improving upon their ideas.
