What are the professions other than gaming and gambling where what matters is being right rather than people thinking you're right?
@TheZvi there are lots of other professions where pure performance matters. Athletes, authors (# of sales), small business owners.

@patrissimo Athletes somewhat. Authors no; publicity/perception > quality. Small biz? If you can self-fund and do mostly repeat biz, perhaps -
@TheZvi what I mean abt authors is you can't fake sales figures. Performance has a clear metric. Same goes for chain restaurant profit. -
@patrissimo Right, you can tell who won. That's far from nothing, some places don't even have that. But more interesting is: Who wins?

@patrissimo On athletes: Big picture yes high correlation. You need to be good, but it's clear that playing to win the game isn't rewarded.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
