ok, so there is this new AI term called "Pareto Evolution"..
Never knew what it meant until now..
Peace cannot be obtained without war. Why? If there is already peace, it is unnecessary for war. If there is no peace, there is already war."

Aga,
I suspect that the term "Pareto Evolution" has nothing to do with the Pareto Law or Principle, aka the 20/80 rule.
Do a search on Pareto Law or Pareto Principle and you will find some interesting articles.

Aga,
I'm not sure this famous economist Wilfredo Pareto ever came up with the 80/20 rule. I think it was attributed to him later. Last time I was in New York, I spent days in the public library scouring over books by this Pareto. I could not find anything whatsoever related to the 80/20 rule.

The 80/20 rule: used extensively by Microsoft, to their peril (that stupid spellchecker
)
