A few points: * People scale poorly. There is a reason Agile favors a "less is more" approach. * There is more than one dimension. Money is an easy metric, but not the sole one. Diminishing returns kick in when we optimize for frog$kins. * Wisdom is hard to communicate.

And the wiser parents somehow have less offspring than the fools. This, too, is counterproductive.
