Can’t they just outthink the moat?Mrs. Parker Even the brightest minds can’t jump a moat built on trust, reach, and habit. That’s why margins move to those who control the top and bottom of the stack.Timmy So, if I focus on sharing my cookies far and wide, and build a path everyone loves, I can outlast any genius baker?Plot: Distribution is 20x more valuable than Intelligence.
