Or you just use a lot of elbow grease and/or time. Your analogy is still flawed.

They'd have gotten where they are now. Without any doubt it would have taken far longer, but arrive they would have.

No?! Why else did they ask the community for help way back and stated they were completely stuck without people helping?

Let's see, because they wanted it done faster and they used a little hyperbole and exaggeration when asking.

C'mon don't be obtuse. This concept isn't that hard to grasp. Do you really expect people to put serious effort into helping if you say "we'd like some help. We can do this alone, but it'll take a really really long time."

Sure SOME people will help, but not nearly as much or as many as if you create a crisis. Otherwise inertia will keep people from putting in real effort to help.

Creating a crisis would make them look incompetent.

Stating that they'd have it done real soon if everyone helped would get people psyched enough to learn programming.

Just like all the players here now are learning programming? (Oh wait, that's not happening?) You're also assuming that everybody would have known the crisis is false, which is not that likely.

You're obviously not going to get this concept. Trying to explain further is just flogging Baigs' dead horse.

Most of the original team is long gone.
Do you understand that the current dev team has had intensive recruitment from the community? I need say no more.

That still doesn't change the fact that most players are NOT programmers and are not involved in coding. Your point is still moot.
