peer agreement (net): +3bottleneck; short stave Explanation: Literally, just means "short stave" as the volume of a drum is dependent on the shortest stave, just like the flow from a bottle is restricted by its neck. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 21 hrs (2008-09-22 01:21:50 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 经济学与管理学上的“木桶理论”，也称“桶板理论”、“短板理论”等，想必大家都听说过。而“短板”一说正源于此。一个木桶由很多桶板组成，在盛水时，其容量并不决定于最长的桶板，而是决定于最短的桶板。因为水位若达到最短的桶板后就会流出来。这也正是“short stave”的寓意所在。 |
