>Only took an 8-standard deviation event I'm assuming that it's only 8-standard deviations if you assume a Gaussian distribution. Wittgenstein’s Ruler (Nassim Taleb) suggests that it's overwhelming likely that the correct distribution is more fat-tailed than Gaussian. >When someone tells you it was a 10 sigma event, meaning it is 10 standard deviations and it is Gaussian; unless the information came from God, you can reject the Gaussian distribution for that domain.
