Sounds right. It's an interesting problem.

I wonder if TGPs don't do so well because they end up with many thousands of small incomings, avoiding the "recip devalueation".

I suspect category links may have hurt everyone far more than we've thought.

But, I haven't been talking measurements. We'd have to take a look at the survivors and see what they are doing that's different.
