Also, I don't think he was attempting to provide a mathematical formula for workforce variance. I think it was more of a guesstimate.
Soooo....yea...while doubling the size of the live team would not exactly double the time for updates, it should push them out considerably faster.

^this. My main point was to relate the difference it would make to GW1 vs GW2. GW2 would recieve extremely minor setbacks from losing a few employees. Meanwhile, GW1 updates would be alot faster. My example was simplified to emphasize a point. You can also use the current example, where all the live team has been pulled for the GW2 demo and we have 0 productivity for GW1.

Im just going to keep my fingers crossed, and hope for some sort of update at the end of this month.
