I think they reveal that you can pick stocks using a strict formula or you can invest in a quality ETF and get close to the same results.

Consistent investing over time; persistence, duration, these are the qualities of a well developed income investment portfolio.
Notice that none of these portfolios include reinvesting dividends, or investing the cash created from buy outs or additional income created from covered calls.
