I'm not missing the point. I just disagree with it. I don't see "business fails" as an inherently bad thing. Some businesses aren't viable and that's okay! To use your rowing analogy: presumably, unless someone is actively trying to sabotage the team, everyone is rowing in the same direction. The issue is more, are the rowers being given enough breaks? Are they demanding too many? Is the captain beating them if they don't row fast enough? etc etc. We can quibble about where the lines are. But if the boat can't stay afloat without pushing workers to their breaking points, then maybe the boat deserves to sink.
