i have no idea what that means.

It means it's a vague and abstract statement that is asserted independently of any actual empirical evidence. It's just a way of supporting a belief. It's like saying that humans are flawed AND THEREFORE my spouse is cheating on me. The former statement is way to vague and general to lead to the specific conclusion in any particular case.
Humans are not robots but there ARE organizations that are well enough designed so that the processes they rely on do not become bent or broken. Not every system or organization goes wrong, and the truth is, more often than not, if they do, we hear about it. We've certainly heard about Rams dysfunctions over the years (eg. Devaney did not want to draft Avery and Zygmunt over-ruled him).
My own view of all this is simple. I do not see the GR pick as the great catastrophe some do. It's now much more common for high-picked OL to be disappointments. Therefore I don't see any particular need to explain it away in the name of some kind of blame/vindication logic. I think Snead was as in on the GR pick as he was the Everett pick and the Gurley pick and the Hav pick and so on, and nothing indicates anything to the contrary. So I don't need to "save" him from the GR pick. I am both a big-time Snead advocate and have been for a long time, AND someone who sees him as equally in on the GR pick as Fisher and Boudreau.
So we're just in different universes over this one.
