Imagine this: You’ve got a team of ten rowers on your boat. Three people are rowing their hearts out, dripping sweat, and giving all they’ve got. There are five people just sitting with their arms crossed, disengaged, and adding dead weight. Moreover, you have two people who are rowing in the opposite direction. How fast is your boat going now?
