The statement that there's more than enough, is not the statement that we should be firing them. It's a statement that we don't want more.

But if we had to fire some, I'd recommend ones who are not willing to do research outside of oversubscribed ideas. That's because the lack of success of existing lines of research means that additional effort there is less likely to work out than looking at less overpopulated approaches.
