That makes no sense. The claim I'm disputing is of form "X is true for everyone". A single counter-example is sufficient to disprove a claim of this form. Grandparent claimed that everyone would be better off investing passively than actively. So a single counter-example of a genius like Simons is sufficient to disprove that claim.
