Oh absolutely. I wasn't really addressing the self-pub vs trad. pub, i was simply addressing the whole "the universe will come to your aid".... I pretty much agree with her point about working hard and honing your craft. I ignored the bit about self-publishing.

I most certainly don't think self-published authors are lazy. I have a tidy collection in calibre of Smashwords books that I've quite enjoyed on that front.
