The typical formula is that it costs double a person's salary for the total budget. So really you're saying 5.5 years and 2 people is a low number so maybe you build a team of 4 and then the runway is an excruciatingly short 2.75 years.

That formula makes no sense if you’re a scrappy distributed team.

At that point the numbers are so small that yes, the rule breaks down.
