The problem with studies like this and why they lack credibility is there probably wouldn’t have been a headline if the model didn’t spit out the result that wealth is created primarily by luck. They either wouldn’t have published the result, or they would have come up with a new model.

Oh definitely - the joke is that a headline like that wouldn’t exist in real life for exactly the reasons you mention.
