Perhaps another way of putting it is to ask whether the

I believe the mission is sufficiently large in scope that having more
people involved is fundamentally desirable in general. Although to
circle back to an earlier point in the discussion, that doesn't require
that we accept involvement that is counterproductive. Maintaining our
standards is a way of acknowledging that the number of people involved
is not itself the end goal.
