From the issue of Wired that will be coming out in a week or so, this is one of those “Statgeist” funny infographics in the Start section. Think about it. It actually works incredibly well on all levels (the insult to the editor-in-chief notwithstanding):

Credibility should increase over time, so the long tail and the tipping point lines are wrong.

This is perfect. Both "The Tipping Point" and "The Long Tail" have come under heavy criticism recently, so the credibility graphs are exactly right. I haven't read "The Black Swan" yet (on reserve at the library) but I get the point there. Personally, I think neither TTP nor TLT were wrong, but just as with any new theory, they need to be refined over time.

I think you're missing a line that shows diminishing returns on all of Jim Cramer's books.
