Nah. All of us together couldn't spot a notule if a swarm were falling upon us.

Otoh maybe the portuguese proverb _Muita gente junta não se salva_ 'Many 
people together not itself saves' - 'Many people together can't save 
themselves' - 'A large group of people who have to reckon with one another 
won't be able to achieve anything' applies.
