I'll give you an analogy that describes our BSFC dilemma...

Say you need tomatoes, so you go to your grocery store and they have a 2lb package for $6 and a 5lb package for $10.

-2lbs of tomatoes are enough for your dinner
-You could only hope to eat 3lbs of tomatoes before the rest spoil.

What do you do?

The 5lb package is a better deal right? Well if you bought the 5lb package, and you could only eat 3lbs before the other 2lbs spoil, you've effectively paid $3.33/lb for your tomatoes.
