OK, I'll try again.
Please would you be so kind as to educate yourself as to the detrimental
effect on communication efficiency of increasing team size by reading Mr.
Fred Brooks' excellent essay on the topic, "The Mythical Man Month". I
would highly recommend the book of the same name, as it also contains a
series of other essays on related topics, which may have the effect of
increasing your knowledge in the general area of software engineering
management.
Happy now?

But you said that "force" was the wrong term, not "in all cases".
