An interesting couple of quotes in the article that make me wonder about their conclusion: The maximum success never coincides with the maximum talent, and vice-versa, Our simulation clearly shows that such a factor is just pure luck By definition, this can't be completely true, as pure luck would mean pure randomness, and apparently, both tails (the most and the least talented) are never the richest. Such situation is at odds with a random distribution. So there is a missing part of the model that may explain it, but it's not random. That being said, I'm not trying to nit-pick the work they've done. Clearly there is something at play here that has huge social significance for every person on the planet. Fascinating work - I'm looking forward to seeing how this research grows over the coming years.
