Woodie has used that statement many times, and it is a true statement of engineering programs in general, that is why he uses it. I have never been asked to manage a program where i felt i had all of the information i needed, all of the time i needed, or all of the skilled resources i needed, or all of the funding i needed.
If i think about it, the addition of the "in fact, a team too large" does make some sense. It is difficult to get the right resources, and sometime you have to many people "helping" to be effective.
