put that one at the top

Change that to “Don’t value bet their good hands”. People who think protection first tend to do stupid stuff like going all-in when their hand is already behind if called, just because the board could get worse. You can’t protect a hand that isn’t worth value betting.

Luck IS a big factor. More accurately it should say “Think that luck is a bigger factor than it is,” or, “Think that luck is a factor only when they lose and rarely when they win.”
