"If we had a trillion humans, at any given time we'd have a thousand Mozarts" makes a lot of sense if you're hoping to sell the work of more Mozarts to more humans.
@nyquildotorg I agree, the statement is wrong. For example, creativity doesn't scale nearly as well as mediocrity. 990 billion out of a trillion humans wouldn't be interested in any of the 1000 Mozarts, and a few dominating companies would make quadrillions of dollars selling run-of-the-mill trash (while making sure that non of the 1000 Mozarts gets in their way).
