This is a good point, although talent across time is comparatively harder to estimate. So “act according to present-time comparative advantage” might be a passable approximation in most cases.
We also need to consider the interim period when thinking about trades across time. If C takes the ops job, then in the period between C taking the job and E joining the movement, we get better ops coverage. It’s not immediately obvious to me how this plays out, might need a little bit of modelling.
