RE: "he did earn that" -- The Story of the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company and Spencer Silver

Agreed. But the guy would't have had an advanced degree to begin with in the absence of luck. He was born in the right country. Wasn't abused to the point of being unable to function. His genetic aptitude for analytical subjects must have been pretty high. He must have has some natural mathematical abilities, or at least a natural interest in math. He was able to afford college. Etc., etc., etc. Life is so very random that nobody "earns" their fate in life.
