Of course it can be overstated. That’s basically the entire mantra of progressives in the US right now and it’s used as an excuse for incompetent people to attack people who successfully do things and (even worse) absolve themselves of responsibility for doing unproductive things. Punishing people for not having something bad derail their business is tall poppy syndrome. Luck is a part of why everyone continues breathing everyday rather than having sudden heart failure. We don’t need to constantly diminish people for living because they were lucky enough to not have a fatal condition. We should be encouraging the people who were successful, even if part of it may have been luck. Any other approach punishes people doing the rest of the work that isn’t luck.
