He indicated that the law would limit a company to N employees. The stated goal was to benefit the greater good, but the metric was simply a number.
What? No. The comment said nothing whatsoever about 'N'. GP's comment was exactly this, and nothing more:
How would you even start to define a term like "the greater good" in a way that a law like this could event begin to make sense?
Not explicitly, no. I drew an inference about what the GP commenter meant (or at least an obvious implication of what I think he meant). He's welcome to correct me if my inference was wrong.
