Yes, and those are the ones who didn’t make it to researcher.

Who's to say that you can't go into industry and not be a researcher? You don't have to stay in academia to do research. Many companies and industries tend to publish papers and some even work with universities for research.

No I’m saying the top tier mathematicians tend to work in academia because that’s where the most math is done (general trend with exceptions).

I think that is a fair statement to make. Thanks for clarifying :)

I don't think that's what GP was saying, but I could be wrong.
