You can lay a firm foundation on shitty soil and still get bad results.

A more accurate analogous quote should be "A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation on the junk full others have buried beneath the location of the proposed structure and still have a tolerable amount of settlement."

No you can't. But you can lay a foundation on shitty soil.

as a rule, successful people are careful not to make any enemies but impotent ones, and therefore do not have bricks thrown at them (even in the figurative sense)

He can debate me all he wants. He's wrong.

The logic is simple:

You can't build a firm foundation on shitty soil, because a foundation on shitty soil isn't firm.
