Are you familiar with the term "anecdata"?
Would it be fun or at all useful to have a "rip-offs" [or "precedents"] thread?

I like the idea of a rip-offs thread although I think we'd be safer calling it something along the lines of 'Highly coincidental similarities in design...' or words to that effect.
I'm not sure what the point is of some of these anecdotal arguments (Ex -uber guy gets rich 'proves' mobility, A.P. Møller and Mærsk 'proves' big house theory, etc).... using singular examples does not prove that a theory is invalid or incorrect.
I think that it would be stupid to not think that a fair number of people "Make it big" from little capital. However, even if you had 10K examples, it still represents an exceedingly small fraction of the population, even if you only count people in Europe and North America. Statistically, your assertions about social mobility are simply not borne out, at least not in the USA.I chose to use examples in companies / people most people know, using Joe Millionaire no one knows, would defeat the purpose, as it could be made up. Most really frugal millionaires are unknown, so you could be living next to one and not know it.
