Its a poor metaphor because you're focusing on the wrong part of the metaphor.
It's called a papercut after the "death by a thousand papercuts" chinese torture / execution method. The idea is that a single papercut by itself may not "kill" the project, but collectively they will bleed the project to death out as much as a single massive death-blow.
When viewed from this angle, it's a perfect metaphor.
