Note team organization of squads.

A Japanese cartoon from Oct. 1941, ridiculing Londoners during the Blitz
"Don't worry," reads the caption, dripping in sarcasm, "We are blessed with an abundance of supplies."

I think the core of why this argument repeatedly appears in discussions is the casual assumption that if you make a vast amount of something then it must be mediocre-to-bad, when the reality in the Second World War was that the Allies were so industrially dominant they had both quality and quantity.
Like this is such a wrong statement that anyone making it should not be taken seriously at all (this piece annoyed the shit out of me at the time and I have not had the opportunity to litigate it lol)
