Yeah, I can't help but detect some wishful thinking on the part of the author. If you're asserting some principle, there ought to be an objective way to validate it - so, how do you know? If it's really true that "the best people will always leave", they'll leave the next employer after they left you. So, the best people are definitionally the people who never keep any job for any appreciable amount of time? How could you possibly measure their contribution anywhere?
