[Amadeus]

Shamou, I think I proved my point when you stated on page one that most people won't hit great success unless they are alpha. I just pointed out to you myriad of examples when the probability of betas making the decisions or making the money is just as high or not higher than alpha. The two attornies who signed on Aerosmith were betas in my opinion but just as if not more successful than Aerosmith.

You and the authors are characterizing alphas as those that prove results or achieve a certain level. I, and the majority of people in the psychological field, define alpha as a characteristic, with no particular cause and effect result.
