I admit there is some subtlety in my comment that maybe needs more clarification. But I said that it's indeed easy for people to blame their failures on something attached to them. Because then they can say they didn't really fail, it's just luck of the draw.

I mean, that's one thing and what we're arguing about here is another thing. Sounds like an apple vs. orange thing.
