200 developers on a project ? Scaring ..... They should use another technology than Java to go under 50 developers. They will save a lot of money :)

Hi guys,
Ralph Johnson in his InfoQ interview made an interesting observation:
2:55 minute: "Smalltalk made an fundamental error ... image ... you can build something with 4-5 people what 50 people can build in Java, but if you take 200 people in Java ... it is really designed for small systems ... "
Are we because of the image really destined for relatively small projects and small systems (of Java 50 people project size)?
Are we really not able to scale to bigger projects/systems because of that?
Ok, there are few exceptions of course (JPMorgan, OOCL, ..), but still...
