"Pets v cattle" isn't a useful analogy for distributions. Why can't they be racehorses -- both individually cared for and yet with an eye to temporal matters. Or whales -- in that if you think you are controlling the whale, well I've got some news. Or maybe even imaginary creatures from a Pixar movie :-)
