To be fair, every single person on HN thinks they know how to run Google better than Google does.

Yes, well luckily nobody on HN can compel Google to do anything differently.

This group of investors however can compel Google to do things differently and as George Carlin once said: "It's a big club, and you ain't in it"

There’s no evidence that this group of investors (who hold 0.5%) can compel Google’s management to do anything.

That is business insight.

You can generalize that to say the average HN reader knows how to run anything better.

90% of management is equal to or worse than calling random() to make decisions. If the margins are large enough, and the competition is asleep, anyone can be a successful CEO.
