The comments here seem to point to the fact that the author is simply using a bunch of loosely connected observations to try and make a point more important than it is.

Especially as the author describes how small tiny advantages appear to accumulate over time and amount to giant advantages that is meaningful. Ie. habits, no matter how small but are alightly better, snowballs into a large advantage over many iterations
