Long ago, I forget where, I saw a blog post that applied this to writing. It pointed out that if we model the quality of your writing as having a mean X and variance Y, then the only way to hit those unlikely exceptionally good texts is to write a lot. Yes, while doing so you might also come up with the same number of exceptionally bad texts, but nobody forces you to show those to anyone. Plus writing a lot will give you practice, gradually pushing up the mean.
From personal experience, I'd also err on the side of publishing even texts you're not personally all that impressed by. I've noticed that I'm relatively bad at estimating what's going to be popular. Some of my biggest hits have been blog posts I'd never have thought would be popular.
But that's just wrong. If you're doing it right your mean creeps steadily upward and that's how you hit high points.
Not all that wrong it would seem.
The "plus" is right, the main idea is wrong.
Personally I would have put the main idea as the 'plus'. Perhaps overstated but clearly not wrong.
If the quality of works is distributed around a mean then more works you produce the more likely it is for a high quality work to emerge. The most remarkable works will come from the very best authors when they are having a really good day (or month or year). Producing more from the same distribution will obviously give more chances for you to produce something that is outstanding.
On a related note a 'one hit wonder' can be said to be regressing to his mean when his other works flop.
Not 'just wrong'. It's just obvious and less important overall than the training effect.
