The problem with this kind of analysis is that you are disregarding the 
factor of time selecting the best.

Could you name 15 classical composers?  Could you name 15 contemporary 
composers?

Could you name 15 authors that lived during Shakespeare's lifetime? Could 
you name 15 authors that lived during your lifetime?

When you take the 1000 playwrights that lived in England along with 
Shakespeare and pick the best, it's not going to be comparable to the 
average writer today.
