I'm not sure how to parse this critique.

Usually, when one says to "boil the ocean" that implies solving much 
more than is required.  In that case, I doubt that we would say mo' 
money, mo' money, mo' money.  We simply would recommend not boiling the 
ocean.

If there were a clear definition of the use case and requirements, it is 
not obvious to me why we would need mo' money, mo' money, mo' money.
