Cool post. I think about this too. Can be extended to all parts of life, and all media (music you listed to, movies you watch). I think Buffett's success to a large degree, and why people claims he does outright acquisitions of large companies with "no DD" is because he's incepted sooo much relevant knowledge gained from 70 years of sitting in a room, 12 hours a day, reading micro-related. So that coupled with brilliant pattern recognition + ability to draw relevant insights + photographic memory means he can act extremely quickly / decisively on investment opportunities.
