Exactly.

The sociology of this counter-narrative is super interesting though.

For whatever reason, we just don't want to take on power laws directly.

We live in this deluded world that power law distributions are something not "natural". Nature gives everything at a normal distribution. Obviously, that has nothing to do with nature. If anything it is the opposite.

Personally, I think this is the power of narrative and the way Francis Galton poisoned statistics that we haven't recovered from.
