Channeling MacLeod

This is the quote I found on MacLeod’s web site from his Ignore Everybody book:
 
 ”4. If your biz plan depends on you sud­denly being “dis­co­ve­red” by some big shot, your plan will pro­bably fail.”
 
The more you ponder that quote, the curiouser it becomes.
 
Is Google a “big shot”?  A web site that is never “discovered” by Google will probably fail. 
An agent who is never “discovered” by clients will probably fail.
A pop fiction novel that is never “discovered” by readers will probably fail.
 
I don’t doubt, though, that I am reading more into the quote than MacLeod ever intended.  :-)
