The idea that power law returns encompass performance factors is a causal inversion that limits our ability to act.
Pushing for the maximum means recognizing that decision quality and the upper bound of ROI are not subcategories but active levers that generate these return distributions.
The real challenge is to understand how we can manipulate these levers to reach the summit of performance, rather than just passively observing a statistic.
In Hong Kong, for example, seeking maximum asymmetry in transactions via Stock Connect or regional arbitrages is the engine creating exceptional returns, not a simple acceptance of a statistical law.
