      This is a nicely symmetric bell curve but a similar wealth distribution graph will show a miles long tail

      Naturally occurring normal numeric distributions will tend towards a bell shape, or curve, as you acquire observations. Artificial distributions like income will follow a different curve that is sometimes difficult to visualize especially when the differences are measured in millions or billions. It’s easier to visualize the differences in artificial distributions if you use a natural distribution as a familiar basis.

      Tl;Dr Do you think Paul Bunyan and Paul Blart are related?
