The point is that, the particular rules of the system that reward person A with wealth is arbitrary. They essentially reward the genetic lottery and luck. Person A was able to invent hoverboards because of a million things in his lifetime lined up exactly right for him to be in the right place for his invention, most notably accident of birth and genetic lottery (genius, work ethic). In a different time the rules would have rewarded the best hunter, still largely based on the genetic roll of the die. When you strip away the fallacy of the self-made man, you realize everything is arbitrary; who makes it big is greatly dependent on the rules of the system. Thus is makes sense for the system to have an in-built limit to how much it rewards any given individual.
