The point is that for most people, one can find someone who earns ten times as much money, but one cannot find someone who is ten times as tall.

True, but growth is incremental and bound by the laws of thermodynamics while income limits are asymptotic :)

Hey, that's my idea.

Actually, I figure the most anyone can fairly earn would be dependent upon working so much faster times so much longer times so much smarter.

But once someone accumulates enough money, he has reached an escape velocity that takes him beyond the bounds of normal economic physics--to a place where money goes to money.
