Not everyone understands the Pareto Principle. I can dig it dude! LOL
In my previous line of work as an operations manager it was an invaluable tool that gave me an edge on a number of levels.

Having studied this principal thoroughly in business school I believe there is a great deal of validity to its application to rollers. Much of my current job involves working with the Pareto Principle in addition to others such as Six Sigma to elevate the overall quality of whatever it is our project is focused on, products, service, etc.
In the case of rollers, the applicability of the Pareto Principle comes through exploiting the very best "inputs" or "resources" that we have to produce the highest quality "outputs" we possibly can, doing our absolute best to eliminate every defect along the way. I believe this is what we are all trying to do, maybe in different ways but this is what we are trying to do. As Tony points out, the ratios or numbers that we seem to be getting hung up on here are irrelevent. It's this aspect of the Pareto Principle that counts.
What in the world does all of that mean? Basically that we take our best (subjective) birds (resources) and maximize their output in some manner, usually by using fosters. In other words, it makes more sense to take one pair that has the highest chance of producing the best birds and getting 9 rounds of eggs and putting them under 9 pairs of fosters than it does to let all 10 pairs lay and raise their own young. Theoretically this would produce a higher percentage of higher quality young birds that would then elevate the overall quality of our stock. We repeat the process with the best of the best from these young birds and so on, improving the quality of our birds with each generation.
Tony, there's my "AHA".

Folks don’t be hung up on the 80/20 term. It is used in the business world indicating that the ratio fall within that percentage. But it does not have to be exact. It is a scientifical term used all around. The bottom like is cull hard and only keep what is better than what you already have and in time, you should have birds that you would be proud of owning.
