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


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.

Of course not. What's the point of whipping a buggy? To get
anywhere, you should whip the *horse*.
