Yeah...it's akin to saying "I believe that [extreme outliers happen], then [they define the general rule]." Their outcome is wonderful, and I'm happy for them, but it's so many sigmas from the norm they may as well be Toyota consultants from the 90s.

He's not saying everyone will be successful, he simply means there's nothing innately special about people who are successful and you shouldn't rule yourself out because you don't think you're [insert adjective here] enough.
