Athletes Vs. Nerds

But there are hundreds of millions of nerds out there who will never in their lifetimes make as much money as Michael Jordan makes in a year. That is why it is a stupid comparison. You're comparing one single person to another single person, both of whom are extreme cases, and labeling it as "Athletes vs Nerds" as if the one case you are referring to is enough evidence to draw any sort of conclusion.

Well then let's shorten the numbers and act as if they're all the same common relation.
Jordan makes 100 points of awesome
Gates makes ... couple... thousand... oh God.
...nerd wins, no matter how many times you divide it.
