Heh, no, you're quite right about the lecture. I know already the world runs on the principle "it's not
what you know, but
who you know".
Struggle for success could be (allegedly!) character building stuff. And, not least, persons like myself try to boost their chances by trying to create a significant web presence.
For the moment there's a challange to be both lamented and enjoyed in the struggle to make it. But there's possibly something to be said about not getting success too easily.
Anyway - enough of my sour grapes, which, indeed, they are - and back to discussing the book in question.
