does not understand that facebook was successful largely due to luck and timing.

That's every successful human. It's a known bias. The classic study was letting people play a rigged game of Monopoly. One random player gets double money among other advantages and wins of course. Afterwards the winner will always tell that it's because of their strategy or something like that, never they just got luckily.
