RDJ may have in some respect had some great luck in being where he was when he was, but so what? You were lucky to stay on the curb this morning instead of getting mashed by a bus.

But this criticism isn't just lame, it's also one that recurs on IDM frequently, and always gathers plenty of "put up or shut up" followups.
