You think that the world is full of situations where 80% of the payoff comes from 20% of the work/complexity/whatever?
I tell you that, equally, the world is full of situations where you get 0% of the payoff unless you've done 100% of the work.
That latter observation is just as true as the former, but it won't make anyone into a best-selling business book author or motivational speaker, as it doesn't help with cognitive dissonance reduction when reflecting upon laziness and ineptitude, as Pareto's law does.
