The parent comment says: "I automatically become CEO, CTO, etc., by starting my own company, and this is true of anyone who started their own companies, including the ones that are now BigCos. Founders don't need any specific qualifications or characteristics to merit their positions."
The parent comment seems to believe that BigCo founders have no qualifications. This is wrong because BigCo founders attain that position by winning in the market.

This is a misinterpretation. I said, "Founders don't need any specific [emphasis added] qualifications or characteristics to merit their positions." In other words, there's no specific list of "Must have X, Y, and Z in order to become a founder."
That's not the same as saying founders have no merit, which I'm not claiming.
