I think there's a fair amount of randomness involved, too. In general I'd agree as most of us have a wide range of experiences. And preparedness means you can take advantage of opportunity.

But I wouldn't say that Chris Reeves' kid had bad luck because they didn't prepare. It was just bad luck.

No, I don't think that one (preparedness) plus the other (opportunity)
necessarily springs forth a third factor which makes any reasonable sense (luck).

In my experience there have been numerous instances where I have had both preparedness and opportunity and no "good luck" or indeed success has occurred.

I put this down to many factors, not the least of which is the major factor of ASSUMPTION (or, misconceptions) as in zombiekitten's signature. It's certainly not just just because I didn't have enough "preparedness" or "opportunity".
