This is a general rule of thumb that applies to everything, or atleast is given as advice on everything.. "deal with the 20% biggest troublemakers in class and you'll solve 80% of the problem" etc.. a bit silly for anyone to claim it as their own invention..

Pareto is actually where the rule of thumb comes from.
