More startups have a chance of becoming really big than their founders realize (or want to admit to themselves). The reason for this apparent paradox is that it would take an enormous amount of work.

This is a truism. For any given startup, a given amount of work will make them successful or even extremely successful. For 99% of them this mechanical output would make the founders glow white hot and burn to ash. Harmful because undervalues importance of luck.
I wouldn't say that. There are a lot of ideas that are genuinely unpromising.

"Unpromising" is such a nice way to describe some. I am not in the business of constantly hearing startup ideas like
@paulg and yet I have had people present many ideas to me that seem downright terrible.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

That's what I mean. The founders would need to work harder than 10 people, or 100, or 1000, to make it really big. Best strategy is maximizing output per effort, which is almost the same as minimizing effort.

If this were true, you'd expect over-capitalized companies without product-market fit to succeed, when in truth they almost never do. Some ideas are bad, no matter how much capital or labor that goes into it!
