Yes, here's how I connect em. Sacks is one of those few metaphorical airplanes returning unshot from the front. Few, because all others who got downed are buried on a giant graveyard. If we say: "Let's imitate Sacks, check is track record," we're ignoring the others that haven't made it and Sacks' future blowup risk.

Maybe, I guess two massively successful companies to me makes me feel the guy might know something about business. 

I think the survivorship bias was David listing the companies that he listed but he also said it was a partial list. Obviously there are more in the graveyard than aren’t but VC returns 25% on average.
