That can be said for anyone, including our elected leaders. Obama was "lucky" to be gifted with high intelligence (genetic lottery), good public speaking skills and high extroversion, which eventually led to his election as POTUS. Does this mean his outsized influence was undeserving? We need a rubric that doesn't entail boiling people down to their causal antecedents, because doing so doesn't let us dismbiguate between worthy and unworthy - everyone and everything is a byproduct of this definition of luck.
