your post implies that - even though it's difficult to do - one could perhaps pick a good fund and be better off than investing into e.g. ETFs.

the poster you're replying to implies that this might not be possible at all if the successful funds only are so because of random chance.

I highly doubt rustamm or anyone partaking in this discussion is remotely qualified to know whether the most successful hedge funds, including Renaissance Technologies, Citadel, or Bridgewater are successful simply due to luck.
