I'll agree with this, but in that case I would tend to judge competency by other, finer criteria. I'd rather judge someone by their own efforts and decisions rather than factors beyond their control.

You can also judge an idea around which a startup is built, but that's a tricky game. Should you do so, however, you would not be criticizing this man's strategy or MBA insights.
