      All Nassim said in FBR was "Its more luck than you think" & NOT "its only luck"....

      My comment was a critique of Taleb's assessment of Trump's cabinet. His liking your irrelevant post makes no sense

      FBR is about difficulty distinguishing btw luck & skill outside hard sciences. FBTrump is the better selling sequel
