If they are positing it as something other than 80% of effects result from 20% of causes, which is what is has meant since Joseph Juran posited it in the early 40s, then yeah, I guess they do.

And despite your extended example, I'm still not sure I get what you/Tyler Perry mean by 80/20. You accept someone who has 80% of what you're looking for? If you break up with them, then you'll accept someone who has 20% of what you're looking for?

Yeah, I haven't seen the movie yet, although I imagine I will.

Still, though, I tend to view things like the 80/20 rule, at least when applied to something like personal relationships, as a silly waste of time.

But what do I know? It's all biz-babble to me, and I hate biz-babble. I hate anything Covey-cult related as well.
