IMO most folks find it easier to point to the million reasons why something wont work/why someone is speaking from a point of affluence/how luck/finances/etc play a role in success than to just do the thing, learn from their mistakes, and grow. It's probably because doing the latter is hard and forces you to face ambiguity & hard personal growth on a daily basis.

I suffer from this at times. To be fair though, that's sort of my day job. Find holes and flaws in ideas and make them stronger. I don't do it with people anymore at least, I try hard to assume they have the best intent.
