At the risk of getting dragged into the crossfire, a bibliographical note:
Malcolm Gladwell's OUTLIERS predicates that success is due primarilly to blind luck. Talent is *not* the determining factor, just luck and stubborness.

Especially with the Terry Malloys of the world.
Anyway, resume the artillery barrages...
