As Ed mentioned earlier, this graph is another fine example of the Pareto principle.
A couple of years ago, feeling geeky because it was my birthday and my new age was a perfect square, I proposed a metric based on teams per Electoral College vote. A plot of that metric vs. team rank would show the same trend as Ed's plot above.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
