In this metaphor, your dude in a digger could also be drunk or a thief or bad at his job, and that'd be a bigger problem vs. a few people from a 100 person hand crew.

This is true, but my priors say it’s much less likely to get a thief or a drunk in a digger than in a group of a hundred folks with shovels.
