I fail to see what most of that has to do with the Prospect bot. The simplicity of it works because of all the variables you so eloquently described. This is the model that doesn't overthink it.

I'm not sure who or what you are debating with. It seems like you are always trying to define the unknown. It seems like you credit favorable and newsworthy outcomes to some higher human intelligence or power.

In the end it was just randomness. A large amount of success in business is total luck. I believe the Harvard Business school proved that. A heck of a lot of life is just pure luck. If you want to call it destiny or god's will or whatever so be it.

But untill you can prove those other elements exist and you can account for them and define them. Those opinions should probably stay out of a rational argument. I think you know all of this and more.

So I'm not really sure why you post these things. We all know none of these lists will predict the future. However, they are excellent tools. And if every so often one of your special guys makes it... Congratulations, the rest of us have those guys too.

Nothing predicts outcomes that will meet your standards.

I would take a system over my own opinions any day.
