You didn't confront my core assertion.
Yes, both parties use motivated reasoning to protect their ego.
But there's 100X more of the worker bees than there is of the uber-successful.
Therefore any discussion like this one will over-index on the luck explanation.
We're obviously not at risk of assigning too much competence to successful people here on HN, a leftist internet forum.
It’s more that the “i work hard and hustle everyday” narrative from successful people is to protect their little egos from the realisation that 90% of their success is pure luck / chance / chaos.
