It's an extreme case to illustrate a general principle. Any mobility between brackets will show winners winning & losers losing.

But I think the original statistical argument is about changes of the nth percentile incomes, not which percentile individuals were in.

And at the top and bottom you will see a rising/falling pattern if there is any mobility in incomes.

Not necessarily true. The top may be stealing from the bottom, and/or vice versa. No mobility.

You'd need to track cohorts to expose mobility trends.

What I am saying is: if there is any economic mobility and _no other effects_ in play, you will still see the rich get richer.
