Or assuming that it can be replicated even if it is known. I suspect this is more true of other types of elite performers rather than financially successful people, but imagine asking Mozart or LeBron James how to perform at their level. There is literally nothing you can do until we figure out how to transfer consciousness to a new body.

Yeah, totally agree. That factored into my answer too: "their secrets would require so much capital to apply as to be impracticable for most" was my explanation for why they probably wouldn't mind explaining it if they did know.

After all, it nets you lots of extra money in book sales, with no real concern that anyone will genuinely read your book and then supplant you.
