The same thing goes on with superspreading in epi. With a measured mean reproduction number, Re, the flipside of “few infect many” is many (most for covid) infect zero.
Such counterintuitive stuff occurs in finance. Fit model to implied vols. Then add in probability of default/stock jumps to 0, still calibrating to implied vols. Tends to decrease the probability of spot dropping (i.e., lower one-touch price), not increase as you might expect!
It would be better if getting a train between England's capital and one of its largest provincial cities didn't involve paying a three-figure sum to a company that boasted about getting "free money" from the taxpayer, to then wait on the concourse until a last-minute stampede.

@ChristoPhraser Something like virological would be useful. Phylo has an advantage that there is a deep base of common methods and shared understanding, which makes it more possible for experts to dive in and out of discussions. But I think I'd enjoy something similar, at least among modelers.
@ChristoPhraser Until then, perhaps I'll start sending unsolicited letters. "Dearest Christophe. It is with great interest that I read your latest letter on app-based contact-exposure transmission probabilities... Consider an immune system with N possible states associated with M antigens..."
