As noted earlier, False Dilemma

Even worse, your thinking presupposes a finite amount of people-effort
resources that must be properly managed by those superior in some
fashion with more correct thinking.


This is absolutely true in the corporate world.

You have a finite number of people working a finite
number of hours each week on tasks that must be
prioritized based on business needs.

You can't magically make more people appear out
of thin air without spending more money, which is
generally against the needs of the business, and
you can't generally make more working hours appear
in the week without either magic or violating workers
rights.

Thus, you have a finite amount of people-effort resources
which must be managed by those higher up in the corporate
structure.

As an old boss of mine once said... "You sum it up so well."
