> should really prove to everyone that it’s possible to beat the market

none of the bogglehead investment advice claim that it's not possible to beat the market - the claim is that it's hard, and if you're average person (and face it, most people are average people), the best advice is to do what is more likely to succeed, rather than the small chance thing that might succeed beyond your wildest dreams.

Therefore, the best advice for the average person is to buy index funds, rather than follow the path of Buffet.
