I disagree. I think this post says it better than I can - http://signalvnoise.com/posts/1643-failure-is-overrated-a-re...
Someone who's failed has now learned 1 way not to fail. Someone who's been successful multiple times has learned the principles and what to do to win, which is much more important.

I agree with sssilver in his disagreement, but there's a nuanced logical flaw here that's not even being addressed.
sssilver brings up that someone who has experienced failure in x isn't necessarily a poor source of advice in x. Similarly, just because someone was successful in x doesn't mean that they have any clue what they did right.
A more defensible bit of advice would be to evaluate someone's credibility before taking their advice, but I can't think of a more obvious truism.

So I largely disagree with the opinion of the author.
