True, but nitpicking about the memorability: The long-term value may not be in the short-term value of the conversation itself. It may be in the introduction to someone by someone you briefly got to know in an itself low-value conversion, by the email for a job getting forwarded to you etc. You wouldn’t necessarily say the conversation was memorable, but the value likely wouldn’t have been realized without it.
If conversations are heavy tailed then we should in fact expect people to have singular & likely memorable high-value conversations.
