You could name a hundred, it still doesn't dispute "most" as there are tens of millions of businessmen out there, the vast majority of which aren't serial successes. Regardless, when someone says "most" they are already conceding the point that there are likely many exceptions. Rebutting with examples to make an argument they've already conceded is simply pointless and shows you aren't really paying attention to what they're trying to say.
And you can keep saying "most", it still doesn't dispute the fact that without hard data or more solid anecdotal evidence to back your claim, you're mostly talking out of your arse.
That could very well could be, so you ask for citations or you ask for clarification, or even say you're talking out of your ass; what you don't do is pull out singular anecdotes to make a case he's already conceded implicitly and think you're somehow rebutting anything. Rebutting a statical claim (i.e. most) with singular anecdotes is simply illogical, let alone one that's already been conceded in the question itself.
If I say most Asians have black hair, and you counter with I disagree because I've seen a blonde Asian; your rebuttal makes zero sense, it's fallacious.
Sorry to burst your bubble. This is one of the dumbest comments I've ever seen here. I don't know where you studied debate or 'logical fallacies' as you put it.
Here's a more apt analogy for you: It's as if you argued that most Asians have yellow hair and then you gave 5 examples of Asians, one of whom actually has red hair to bolster your argument. The original comment (the one you were replying to) then pointed out to you that those 5 examples don't prove anything and in fact one of those has red hair. And then I added that, though I don't dispute that it could be true that most Asians in fact have yellow hair I can actually think up more than 5 examples of Asians that have red hair, if you think your 5 examples(including one false example) is proof supporting your argument. This is not the same thing as saying that I have proof that most Asians are red-headed. Not sure why I'm even bothering to explain this to you as you seem incapable of understanding even the original commentors point let alone simple "logic". The only person making zero sense here is you.
You've burst no bubble, your ego just doesn't allow you to admit when you're wrong. Your argument was fallacious, regardless of whether the original commentors was as well. He could be entirely wrong, that does nothing to support your failed counter argument. Your argument is structurally wrong regardless of his facts.
Lots of smart people never studied debate or logical fallacies and never learned the difference between a sound argument and good sounding rhetoric. They get emotional and don't realize they aren't making any sense.
