Do we consider any group action as a joint action? If so, is there some higher tier of joint action since we have examples of group actions unaffected by individual failures as well as ones where an individuals failure to comply has more apparent consequences. For instance if we decide to go swimming and swim 40 laps each, we could end up with you swimming the 40 laps and me barely making 35, still we would (possibly ) consider it as a joint action. However if we were to take part in synchronised swimming, then me not quite swimming correctly has a higher impact on the action in general as opposed to the previous case.
