He can be entirely explained by random luck. If you're got enough moron CEOs spouting enough random crap, one of them will get lucky often enough. His only real skill is taking credit for things other people do.

Each coin-toss is a deterministic physical process governed by laws of motion. If we had perfect information about the motion of all components in the system (hand, coin, air, floor, etc.), then we could, in principle, perfectly predict th

Conservation of momentum says otherwise -- the faster the ball is going, the more change in momentum it needs, the harder it needs to be hit.
