A few years ago someone explained “The Matthew Effect” to me. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s a principle drawn from Matthew 13:12 (and Matt 25:29) in the Bible, which basically says the person who “has” will be given more, and the person who “doesn’t have,” from him “shall be taken away even that he has.”

But one month ago, nobody could say where the additional $77 million to make it happen would come from.
