Example of "A chain is only as strong as its weakest link"? [closed]

Solution 1:

Common Connotation: That a group of entities working together, for the same purpose, cannot be any more successful in that purpose or goal than the extent of success capable for the entity in the group who is least proficient with the skills needed in the achievement of the goal or purpose, regardless of the strength of any of the other entities contributing to the purpose or goal.

Here is an example: There are 5 players on a basketball court working together to score points against the five players of the other team, using many skills: passing, defending, knowing pre-planned plays, ball-shooting accuracy, etc. One of the players drops 95% of all passes thrown to him, and the other 4 players are far more proficient in all required skills...The team will score far less points because of that butterfingered player than if he were replaced by a 5th player of greater skill ability.
