This seems to be the core thought behind the idea that domains aren't very important. It's the worst reason of them all too.
You can succeed with all kinds of hindrances. You don't need great design, technology, marketing, or anything else to succeed. There are really no prerequisites to success. There are examples of success in every permutation.
The job of the entrepreneur is to increase their odds by doing everything they reasonably can. For 99% of startups that means getting a high quality .com domain name.
