Putting aside the fact that the article explicitly agrees with you that just hard work isn't enough, here's the part of your comment I don't understand:
> I know the VC thing about the importance of hard work. They love to promote hard work because that's how they make money.
Why would they promote hard work if hard work didn't matter? And if it does matter, then what exactly is your problem with what pg is saying?
