What we proposed as a hypothesis in one of those early papers was it's likely that as growth rate gets faster and faster, eventually the basic biochemistry just can't keep up, right? So... if I have some chemical reaction that can only go at some maximum rate or I have some molecular device that can only work at some maximum rate, eventually it can't keep up with my overall growth rates.
