well, to be fair, the article didn't say how you should interpret early life experiences. You state that looking at early experiences are "biased towards those people who got off the blocks quickly and easily" but when I ready #3, my first thought (as a manager that interviews and hires frequently) was looking for people who had to solve problems when young, as opposed to people who got everything handed to them. Now that shows my biases which may be negative biases towards sons of wealthy parents who are talented and motivated, but the point is that your comment assumes a specific type of bias. I suspect that whether you're hiring or just meeting people socially, having a sense of how someone got to the point they're at tells you more about that person than just knowing where they're at now.
