At last a Software Test Analyst's effectiveness is just based on his number of Defects….?

This may looks funny, but is the Truth. In a project a Software tester's effectiveness is just measured (at last...) by his number of defects.

This happened in my nearby project. The team has to release a resource according to the plan and the team manager is breaking his head to make a decision. At last he got two names to select one. Member A is very good in overall application knowledge and designing test cases. Member B is very good in finding defects (even apart from TC execution), with lot of sense and logical aptitude. Now almost the TC design stage is over and they are in the execution stage. What the Team Manager do, whom will he release...

Pls post your comments.

This project does not seem to be a resource billable project. As clearly mentioned that the designing phase is already over, I think the Resource A should be moved to another project where he can do better. Resource B is good with his Execution and Defect finding metrices so he should be retained...
