Difficulty scaling (Destiny)

Has anything been said about difficulty scaling for solo versus fireteam, or difficulty settings at all? I'm really curious how difficulty settings are going to work, and how that will work out in public events. Will the difficulty be somehow automatically scaled to our skill level, or will we have instances were the difficulty could be too easy for one person in my fireteam and too difficult for another? Can I set my own difficulty level and play alongside friends that are playing at another level? Can I replay missions on different difficulties?

We trimmed a whole bunch of questions from our Chris Butcher E3 interview - mostly because the answers were "we're not talking about that right now" - but we'd asked this question, and his answer was

So we're not really getting into the technical details around that, but generally speaking, the way it works is that no matter what your character's power is, and no matter what activity you're on, we make sure it's always a satisfying shooting experience. Now, obviously, there are experiences that are more difficult than others, but it's never unsatisfying. You never trivially just make the content ridiculously easy.
