I don't think the article proves that all advice for becoming successful is bunk, just that it is difficult to evaluate.
Surely "from nothing comes nothing" is still mostly true. Of course a lot of people these days believe that the only way to become rich is to inherit. Which ironically could also be a false belief about success, as per the article.
