You live in a town where there was just a massive flood due to a dam breaking. You have a magical sorcerer in the town that has the ability to send everyone back in time and fix the dam before it breaks. Your town also has a single bucket, which could be used to remove the water from the town, one bucket-full at a time. The town decides to use the bucket.
I feel like continuing this analogy now.
Half of the town decides to work on the bucket together while the other rests. With everyone's hands near the bucket, it explodes for no apparent reason, shattering everyone's hands and rendering them all useless. Half the town is now unable to do anything productive while the rest has to clean up the remains of the flood with nothing. The sorcerer laughs in his house on the hill.
