If that is the best choice, yes. I suppose this is case where
individual importance comes in. If e.g. the project leader cannot
make 1000 but 1030, maybe it's not a good choice; if just "some
others" aren't there the first half, that's okay.
Maybe it's too much to ask the tool to make a decision. Maybe it
could just give a list of possibilities, sorted by the sum of
products of attendants and their importance, and list the actual
attendants and missing people for each to let someone make the
decision?
