The OP was about celebrity bankruptcies, and Fletch was comparing average Joe to them.
I compared average Joe to other people who were at one time average Joes (most of them) and eventually became wealthy or otherwise successful after a bankruptcy.
I didn't miss his point, it's not as if I have a reading comprehension problem. The reason you
think I missed his point, is because you
assume that average Joe stands almost no chance of becoming Henry Ford, HJ Heinz, or Walt Disney.
I disagree.
Neither of us can definitively prove our point of view on this is right, so we'll just have to agree to disagree. I prefer my point of view simply because it is a more empowering belief.
