But is that a problem for the first passerby? Do you not read the book because the strategies won't work in perpetuity?

No, I don't read the book because I don't like books that claim to be selling some secret sauce to success because they are often rife with survivorship bias.

  • Sounds like there’s a few objections: the book is so effective its techniques will be adopted by everyone, and the book is based on flawed survivorship bias so the techniques are unlikely to work.
