You know I would disagree with that. :)

I don't even like this distinction between whale and minnow or whatever you like to call it. You can look at any parameters of stake weighted systems and it will be lopsided towards stake. That is the way hive (a stake weighted blockchain) is designed. SL runs on hive and powered by hive, so it runs the same way.

I don't find any surprise here, neither should you.
