> ”Here's the number I used to win the lottery“ – Entrepreneurs giving advice
this is a funny quip, and it is completely recognizable as a quip.
Feeling the need to defend entrepreneurs against this quip is a defect in you. Feeling the need to analyze what %age of the time this quip would need to be true in order for it to be acceptable marks you as a complete nerd who misses the forest for the trees. Wanting to burden this quip with extra words so as to make it quantifiably good advice is misunderstanding what makes something funny.
have a laugh, go on about your day, this quip was never meant to be flypaper for humorless gadflies.
