Caliboy:

The 80/20 rule is a very interesting phenomenon in present and past human cultures. It is noted in society in general and in most disciplines as well. For those who lie on opposite sides there cannot be resolution. One side (the 20%) sees reality in quantitative terms and the other only views reality qualitatively. For the latter (majority) group there is no comprehension of rates. Attempts to educate this group are futile because input is judged for emotional content instead of quantitative content. As such, imaginative and creative resources are limited: the focus is on drama. Consequences are only understood after they occur.

To paraphrase others: Know your challengers. Choose your battles well.
