How does one know when a given technology reaches the 80/20 point other than by its success in the marketplace? Maybe the 80/20 point is a good predictor of success, but the whole concept of 80/20 is too slippery for me to grasp. Could someone tell me how does one design something to hit the 80/20 point?
