I don't think most people necessarily disagree with this:
(1) The people who think that the market can be beat don't think most people can do it. They think most people can't but that they're special and can.
Think most people agree with (2) and (4) as well. They just don't like the implications re: society and God that come with it. To the extent they get rejected it's to preserve the viability of the notions they hold.
They admit (5) is something most people agree with.
(3) and (6) they whittle down their extreme position to what most people agree with
(7) is the closest to delivering what the title claims. But ultimately "better" is subjective and while I largely agree with the point it's not exactly an objective truth.

To the extent they get rejected it's to preserve the viability of the notions they hold. This also operates the other way, and links to your statement in #1. Most people want to believe in the idea of pre-determined concepts because it makes them feel special when they aren't living a lesser pre-determined fate. There is zero evidence leaning to either side. It's much like the concept of god, where the only proof people can establish is that the concept exists therefore it justifies. This is a comforting thought to hold instead of sitting in the unknown.
