By definition "good" has to be rare, otherwise it wouldn't be good ...

"good: adjective, 2. having the required qualities; of a high standard."

I don't see "rare" being a part of the definition.

It's not in the definition, it's in the distribution curve that is implied. Good = better than average = rarer than the average.
