No, as David mentioned, adding taxa while holding character number 
constant will
only *decrease* resolution.

NOW we're getting to the meat of the matter. Where is the reference that 
supports this? 

Sincerely, I need to know. 

At this point it doesn't make sense because I have perfect resolution: a single 
tree. So your statement "will only decrease resolution" is apparently 
falsified. 

What are the "ideal" ratios? And how were these numbers validated?

Let's test the hypothesis.
