Irrelevant how?

Is it irrelevant that the examples fail to back up the assertion because Peter Thiel is the one making it?

The 'big idea' expressed in this blurb is that it's 'easier to copy a model than to make something new.'

And the supporting arguments show off the opposite case just to associate the book with becoming the next industry defining billionaire.

Whoever wrote this blurb is either not thinking clearly, or is banking on readers to not think clearly.

There are much better example cases for that argument, but they aren't as flashy.
