Looking at yourself as an editor that has to apply 'red ink' to your startup (especially as it grows) makes sense to me intuitively. As for the Ammunition and Barrels, I think this is counter intuitive but true. More manpower doesn't mean more results, unless you have the right type of manpower and process in place.
