"Even giving money to 25% of people at random (regardless of their past
performance) led to a higher percentage of the most talented people in
the computer model who achieved success than rewarding the most
successful people, since as we know, success was largely a proxy for luck."

Via Rhys Taylor and Edward Morbius.
