I don't disagree really - and the president issue is somewhat separate given its political nature and obvious historical context.
As I said, I agree in the common case - I just see people generalize and include in their examples people that contradict them (Bezos, arguably Musk too).
Extreme outliers are often outliers in more ways than one.
People talk about America as a meritocracy yet, the US has had vastly more presidents closely related to previous presidents than say Black, Hispanic, and or Female presidents combined. That’s to put it bluntly not he outcome of random chance even if you’re limiting things to just white men it’s obvious something else is involved.
