I may be misunderstanding something in the beginning but I feel like there is a great deal of silent data that is being ignored in this analysis. I think what we're really saying is that, of the successful artists, the top establishments are a relatively larger group than other industries. But I could be misunderstanding.

It's always interesting to me to mix the world of innovation with the world of cause and effect. The nature of artistic creative expression is most successful when it is new--describing a mechanistic formula promising artistic success is somewhat ironic.

Still it's certainly true that those who have are given more. While those who have not lose even that which they have.

Obviously this was a good article as it sparks lots of thoughts!
