My point is that only looking at those that are successful is missing most of the data on people they should have funded. Assessing this is really hard, but they shouldn't fool themselves into thinking they have all the data.

Your insight is correct, but doesn't seem to be actionable in any way.

Yes it is: reflect on the interview process, not just on the rejected eventual successes.
