Or maybe its because of things like this: http://www.census.gov/epcd/www/smallbus.html

Firms (total: 5,697,759) with:

Less than $100 thousand 1,291,552

...

$2.5 billion or more 891

So you should shoot to be in the 891/5,697,759 (0.016 %) instead of the 1,291,552/5,697,759 (22.7%)?

Maybe they are just promoting a more realistic and likely path to success...?

They may be promoting a more likely path to success, and I'm not saying that they aren't. I just think that the point that they stand to benefit from more smaller companies should be brought up.
