Maybe significantly more work, but can you try to filter out very small (or spam) PRs before these calculations? Maybe limit this analysis to PRs that edits source code (not just comment and docs). Or maybe include those, but only when &quo

The summary of this essay appears to be that Paul Graham relies too much on his own intuition, but intuition can lead people astray- a lengthy discussion on the failure of PG's own Arc language is used to support this argument. And app
