This doesn’t address the elephant which is “quality” of talent. EA has a funding overhang with respect to some implicit “quality line” at which people will be hired. Getting more people
who can demonstrate talent over that line (where the placement of each specific line is very dependent on context) lowers the funding overhang, but only getting more people under the line doesn’t change anything.
Right. (Which is significantly about level of context not just innate properties of the people; also as I alluded to briefly depends on the coordination problem of finding the right roles for people.)
But I don’t really think introducing this changes the concept of funding overhangs?

Agree with all that yep, and perhaps I should phrase my comment better.
