I would ask the question this way - how many of the Top 10 actually taught instructors? I'd say that makes you especially influential.

All of them did, either when they were instructors or as they developed into instructors. Take Leadbetter, Toski, Jacobs and Hogan, they taught a significant number of instructors, the number of instructors who list those names as references is rather high which surprised me.
