This post wholly ignores why Berkshire Hathaway is successful. The company is not successful because they make selling companies to them easy. They are successful because they buy good, cash rich businesses and find excellent management to run them.

The post isn't about why Berkshire Hathaway is successful, it's about why their acquisition process is successful. Totally understandable to focus on the latter and gloss over the former in that case.
