I've read thousands of books in my life, and reviewed maybe five (excluding sheet music books.)

On Amazon's Best Selling SF list right now, George Orwell's 1984 only has 1700 reviews. Michael Siemsen's The Dig is #30 on their best selling SF list... and has 23 reviews. #33 has 18 reviews, #34 has... zero.

Suppose your casual approach to correlation was applied to intelligence correlated to patents and companies founded - would that seem fair and legitimate to you?
