So this is actually exactly backwards. On top of being frighteningly amoral, I mean.
- leto_ii 6y agoI checked the original article, it doesn't explicitly refer to the Pareto principle, it just calls it the 80/20 rule. Normally by this it's understood that you should be referring to the Pareto principle, but it seems they've invented another 80/20 rule (that makes no sense and is not related to Pareto).
- kgin 6y agoYeah if that's really what they're doing, they've misunderstood the pareto principle pretty much on every level, from what it is to how someone might attempt to apply it.
