You state this as fact without providing a dataset to back it. I think
this is not true at all.
> most of the most successful people on the planet write little or nothing
It depends on how you define "success".
I would consider people like Linus and Dwayne Richard Hipp and TBL to
be among the most successful people on the planet, and they write
quite a lot.
Do you call people who capture then give away a billion dollars the
most successful? I don't. To me the most successful are the ones who
create billions in wealth and capture just a tiny fraction--enough to
support their family and friends and live a good life.

Look at your own comments. My comment is effectively "people whose day job is to write, write the most". It's borderline self evident.
Your argument has devolved into: "people who write a lot are by definition successful. I wonder if there is a correlation between writing a lot and success."
lol - so your opinions are valid, everyone else must bring data.
Here the dumb thing about this - almost anything worth discussing is uncertain, else it wouldn't be discussed. If the only way you can change your mind is for someone to present an absolute, water tight, backed up by data argument, you'll never change your mind. You make several assertions in this thread with zero data.
