It's a lot like rowing

[Consider a] boat rowed by eight men, four on the left side, four on the right side, if they do not row correctly, the boat will zigzag erratically.One rower might feel he is stronger than the next and row twice as hard. But this extra effort upsets the boat's progress and moves it off course. The best way to propel the boat faster is for everyone to distribute force equally, rowing evenly and at the same depth.
