“Given enough eyeballs…”

I’d like to express this articulately some day, but for now I’ll just stand on the shoulders of greatness — and then correct him:

Maybe it’s an economy of scale thing. e.g., When is there ever enough competent, manageable, able-to-fix-your-problem eyeballs?

    Sounds like there really aren’t enough eyeballs, so the premise is not met and the conclusion is therefore invalid. What prompts your post?
