Relentlessly resourceful only makes sense/sounds good in hindsight. Before that there is simply "relentless" and "resourceful"--which are straight forward enought. The "problem" is there is a tension/contradiction between the two: relentless meants "stopping at nothing". And resourceful means working within a set constraint (ie, an externally-imposed limit). Needless to say, bringing/finding hidder or non-obvious resources to bear on problems with obvious/unavoidable constraints is the general gist of this problem. "Never bring a knife to a gunfight" is also another take on it, although a bit more from the perspective of a negative proof.
