It just depends on the nature of the reporting - if you need intensive reporting from your directs, then yes, less is more - if your people work in relative isolation then more is more.

Right, it's silly to compare the line manager of 40 assembly line workers doing the same task, vs a leader of a SEAL team.

You can have one manager managing 20 engineers doing project work too, because often there is a project manager attached managing the specific issues with the project.
