How is finding an anecdote a invalidate a generalization? The majority of the most powerful global corporations are US companies. They don’t (in general) get that way by being incompetent.

You can't support a point about private companies in the US in general with a point solely about powerful global corporations that are US companies.

I'd argue that once you reach a certain level of size, it's very easy to fail upwards.

See: Amazon. They are incompetent in many aspects of their business, but due to their sheer size that incompetence is shielded by their other investments.
