More would be better. To the extent that the benefits of increasing the number of employees outweigh the costs of increasing the number of employees, it is better to increase the number of employees.

  • That doesn’t mean “you better put it all in.”

Figure Problems

  • Benefits and costs are portrayed as inversely correlated, but that’s not always the case.
  • Initially, costs were envisioned as a constant graph.
    • Implicitly, “the cost of adding one more case is constant.”
      • [Difference between “leave no one behind” and “leave as many people behind as possible” focuses on changing costs
      • This one implicitly assumes that benefits are constant.

The “more is better” and “all is better” groups do not agree on the goal they are aiming for, but they can cooperate because they agree on “more” up to the halfway point.

OLD TITLE more is better, but not all.

People who consider 100% of the vote in a democracy to be ideal.
