I understand how this might be a problem, but logistically, it's going to be hard to assure that. And sometimes it works. On Pirates of the Caribbean, the three (sets of) screenwriters were not together, but for the most part it sounded like they were. They weren't talking to each other, but they all talked about what was happening on the screen and so their commentary was always on point.
