Well, I said close. Besides, a major league pitcher is much
more valued than
a doctor, and that says a whole lot about the society.

I don't think relative rarity is a good measure either. If that

case, buggy whip makers would be billionaires. Some of them
could make
extraordinary buggy whips. Of course Bill Gates can make
extraordinarily

There are a lot of buggy whip shops in my area, Some are quite
good at it.

Exception noted, but they're not billionaires either.
