You can be right about the manpower issue. In no way could on man build a bridge, but one man can build efficient software.

Even here there is room for disagreement. Do you think a community-designed bridge would be preferable to one designed by a
single architect? The seminal concept of "The Bazaar and the Cathedral" overlooks the disasters the befell cathedrals designed by
consecutive architects.

Yes there is, but the disagreement in between what I wrote, and what you read. In the quoted sentence, I was talking about the building, or implementation, process. What you then began to talk about was the design process.
