Doesn’t that observation support the point I’m making?

And how do you account for the fact it has no predictive power? Following the logic of your assertion we see very few cases which actually reach it. Wouldn't that suggest it is incorrect or at least incomplete in some way?

I’m not sure I really understand what you’re trying to say here, but in general, I’d be inclined to let the people who successfully built Amazon into a 2.25 trillion dollar company continue to do their thing
