I agree this is a good topic and it shouldnt just have to be centered around probability.
The scalability idea points to the fact that starting a company while your working for someone else is not a bad idea. If you can make 100K-200K doing a 9-5 job then you should keep it and keep trying to start businesses until you succeed.
Live cheaply and execute as many ideas as you can. Ie your job is your VC.
Now this is obviously not easy but if you can build the emotional and hard-working capacity for this I think its possible.
