Why Are Good Horses Common but Recognizers Rare?

Because people who can't figure you out won't dare to use you. Once you show that you're difficult to pin down, you'll end up on their "not using" list.

People can only make money within their scope of understanding, and they only dare to use people they can fully understand.

If there's something a talent scout can do, you can too; if they can't do it, you can't either. The issue is, why would a talent scout go out of their way to promote you? Only when you can achieve what they can't will you have a chance for an exception. But when you demonstrate such ability, you'll make the talent scout worry they can't control you. You need to show vulnerability, appear as just a tool in their hands. You must deliberately or proactively display weaknesses to seem easy to manage.
