- lambdasquirrel 7y agoSure, but that’s probably a variance thing. The overachieving can be a multiplier unto itself. Do you notice it though, when you have a Brezhnev, or a Qin Er Shi, or a Louis XVI? Napoleon was so much cooler than Czar Nicolas II. We don’t remember those other folks as much, and sometimes the effect of their rule isn’t immediately or decisively felt.
