First, I am not discarding the advice. I was responding to the idea that successful practitioners didn't get lucky.
Second, my assertion is that the advice is useful for only a small segment of the population. The goalposts have moved to the opposite end of the field if we are now talking about advice for everyone except for a small segment of the population.
> I mean if you want everyone to have the same opportunities, you are welcome to give up the advantages you might have so that others get better opportunities.
Nowhere did I say that everyone should have the same opportunities.
Finally, your link does not seem to refute my point (I've seen it before).

There is no 100% guarantee for anything, so you also need luck. The article here actually shows that, because the blogger was unlucky to have an expensive disease that made his plan nonviable.
