He knew what corporations know

One man is a single; two, a pair; three, a trio. A pair and a trio make a five, which is a squad; two squads make a section; five sections, a platoon; two platoons, a company; two companies, a battalion; two battalions, a regiment; two regiments, a group; two groups, a brigade; two brigades, an army. Each is properly trained. Thus one may manage a host of a million men just as he would a few.
