This seemed like an obvious blindspot in the pg essay - if you take the 0.1% most successful founders and put them in a room together (which is the context of his essay) then of course you're going to come away looking for that special ingredient which makes these people so special.

It could just be luck. But you're not likely to learn much without also talking to all the people who were just as talented and still failed.
