Dorris argues that those who attain ‘ greatness ’ are credited with solving a key generational problem in a field and / or society ( e. g., Einstein resolving the conflict between Newton and Maxwell in physics at the outset of the 20th century ; or Woody Guthrie providing a voice for the outcasts of the Great Depression of the 1930s ).

Dorris ’ core argument is that those who become ‘ great ’ are those start out with sufficient genetic potential and then are able, over two or more decades, to obtain matches / fits with “ The Right Kind of Problems ” to extend the development of these genetic biases into what Dorris terms, “ Key Characteristics ”.

Dorris ' argument in relation to Chaotic Matching is that access to the resources and learning opportunities essential to the development of key characteristics of an eventual ‘ great ’ often occurs not due to the efforts / planning etc.

of the individual, but simply due to chance events in the interpersonal, institutional, societal worlds around the person, who – unlike perhaps millions of equally capable peers – becomes the beneficiary of these chance events, events which Dorris argues can change a person ’ s entire future in much the same way as, e. g., a “ lottery jackpot ” or a “ Titanic ticket ”.

The other two of the matching processes described by Dorris are completely new to this book: Catalytic Matching and Chaotic Matching.

Dorris argues that there are four types of Matching Processes which occur over the course of such development.
