honestly I'm not well-versed in the detailed differences.

the line on the log-log chart, with meta outlying, is undeniable.

I'm being facetious, cuz all the power-law log-log stuff is complete^[1] bullshit (#1433264).

I agree that quibbling over whether some fitted curve is n^x, x^n, or something else, is futile in most situations... although a conversation in one situation could be complete bullshit, without reducing the abstract accuracy of the mathematics.

I thought Pareto distributions show up everywhere
