There's this thing, I don't know if it has a name, but it's certainly a post-scarcity idea: The people who spend the most capital (money/time/talent) measuring/sciencing a thing will always be the people who can profit from that thing the most, and they will measure/science it in the capacity that provides the highest returns. Lots of other people will measure/science the thing, but they either will have their own agenda or do the measury/sciency part less good.
