…and 9 women are known to bear a child in one month

  Adding people to a department actually helps if it's understaffed. But I guess the keyboard design is a managment problem not a engineer problem. "The mythical man month" should not be interpreted dogmatically.

    The existence of the Autonomous Car Unit was also a management problem. The unstated truth in the "mythical man month" is that you can't rescue a project by throwing people at it if the project is out of control because of poor management. Stellar management can do almost anything. Mediocre management bumbles around creating failures.
