I'm sure you have the idea, and you've improved mine also. Best I can tell, though beyond any expertise, I am talking of stretching normal curves, like iq, from babies previously unable to be saved, but yes, more so the log normal, the multiplying of normal curve effects.

Isn't the wealth distribution curve a normal curve? Gates has surely stretched it. Less than 0 wealth is an odd concept in America, at least when death is included, and mentioning Chap 7.

No I overspoke about every normal curve, I had so many example flash when I wrote that that I gave it emphasis. My point is how widespread and beyond obvious are the effects from this mindset.
