Rumor has it that Mike Cheponis may have mentioned these words:

Now, let me use your analogy to prove that multiple independent busses are
better than one single bus:
Let's say in each of your cases, 1 of the weapons jams exactly halfway thru
it's job... How much lead is delivered in each case?
(1) 2MBullets/Sec: 1 Million bullets.
(2) 1MBullets/Sec: 1.5 Million bullets.
The multiple bus structure delivered more bullets with 1 bus still ready
for work, whereas the single bus structure's work ground to a halt waiting
for operator intervention.
I hope to say that this is what others and myself have tried to convey.
Hope this helps clear up my point,
