Study: Bad team members make other team members worse

It makes sense that they screw everyone else up, but sometimes, it's the other way around: Bad members stay like that, but the good ones end up doing more than said bad members would do.

Example: In high school every group assignment I had ended up with me and another guy doing all the work and two other guys doing absolutely nothing. Always. This was less a case of them being lazy and more a case of them being terrible with mostly everything. They passed mostly because of us. Okay, they didn't learn what they should've learnt, yes, but...Um... Well, both ended up joining a band and highschool stuff ain't so important now.
