Asymmetry between good luck and bad luck

The interesting asymmetry between good luck and bad luck is that:

A single stroke of good luck , no matter how big the break , cannot by itself make a great company.

But a single stroke of extremely bad luck that slams you on the Death Line , or an extended sequence of bad luck events that creates a catastrophic outcome , can terminate the quest.
