It's just humorous, as there is so much money continually coming in to the S&P500 index stocks relative to the total market (from 2008 the S&P500 has risen from 80% of the total market value to 82%) and VTI, the impact is minimal as flows are net into the index not out of the index. Results from VTI are for all practical purposes identical to the S&P500. If we ever get to a time where the S&P500 where to fall to 70% of VTI then you would see an underperformance, but simple inflows keep them the same.
