Sadly but quite predictably, Baba has completely missed the point of the
joke.  TAKEN IN CONTEXT, it was more or less obvious:  it was in a bit
of argument concerning distribution vs. production, and was intended to show
that perfect distribution doesn't necessarily solve anything, and if 
attempts to "fix" distribution screw up production, *everybody* is worse
off.
