> because nobody is more than a modest constant times more productive than anyone else,

Having met people causing net negative productivity, this is pretty hard to believe. Why do you expect this to be true?

In software engineering we're talking about 10x developers all the time. Whether they actually exist or not is kind of disputed.

Do we have 1000x or more business leaders? Because that's how well compensated a select few of them are. I don't believe we have. Because at most one developer is 100 times more productive than other one, so it makes no sense that a business person would be 1000 times more productive than another one.
