That's an interesting idea, but I think it is just plain wrong? Barbell distributions are very rare in real life.

Taking a very quick look at car price distribution or dropshipping product price distribution, there seems to be no trace of any sort of multimodal distribution. Do you have any data to back your claim?

Never thought I'd see an Aesop Rock reference in a tech blog post
