    3- A possible trend

    Ergodicity, again. Skin in the Game explain why dynamic things should NEVER be looked at statically.

    One way to summarize these findings with care: the rich didn't get richer, the people who became rich ended up richer than the people who used to be rich. Confused? That's why so many stories about these facts conflate these two ideas without being clear.
