If you take a sample of cars, take them into parts and then list the producers of the parts, your statistics will differ significantly from the diversity of brands you started with. You'll find that quite a small number of parts actually contributes to brand identity, and it is likely that you never even heard of the top scorers. -- David Kastrup
