There was in fact, too much emphasis on 'success for everyone'. That said, if you look at the rest of the arguments, I think that he begins to form a new definition of success, one that may be a better fit for far more people. In some respects this reminds me of the incredibly bad fad/decision to destroy the high-school votech department(s).

Dropping out at all levels from that point onwards.
