That is a good point, and one the author of Fooled By Randomness would probably ponder. I think the impression I'm getting, is that if you had debt and assets of the world laying on the poker table as pennies, nickels and dimes, you'd find that a penny or two could represent total debt, a nickel (maybe a dime) total financial assets, and the balance of one dollar, networth. But it's only an unsubstantiated impression. And thus far, forming it has little cost to me, other than opportunity cost of the effort/time.
