That's a good point. It's funny how 'Silicon Valley' and 'Wall Street' have connotations such that the poor schmuck at the bottom of the totem pole gets caught in the net. It should be thought of more like 'White House' or 'Brussels', i.e. powercenters, which I think is what the labels may have originally tried to do.
