That's a very interesting statement, but if you think about it it's both
"exactly backwards" and "exactly true." Stuff becomes known as "unusual"
precisely BECAUSE it "dies early" -- and is therefore not around to become
"commonplace!" Dinosaurs are extinct today BECAUSE they died out 65 million
years ago...
