Its like saying "I think lots of rich successful people do drugs so if i do more cocaine and some more heroin than them then I will be even richer and more successful than they are" - all while failing to notice the strung out drug addict you walk past in the street.

It's like saying "living a healthy lifestyle doesn't stop cancer because my friend lived very healthily and died of cancer at 40" when less than 1% of people survive past 40, many of those that do inherited immunity to cancer and most of the rest had some sort of identifiable genetic advantage
