I’d personally argue operating outside of the law disqualifies you from being a good businessman. If I can win a game of chess by moving the pieces when you’re not looking, am I a grandmaster?
Same with business. Using privileges and loopholes that other people don’t have access to is not being good at business.
The same way having your father loan you a million dollars disqualifies you. I can beat Mo Farah if I run a shorter race, who’s the better runner?
That’s not true. It could have been a Windows laptop, don’t forget.
