It's an opinion, it's neither true nor false, saying that if the admin is unattractive then it's not a good VC.

What is not a matter of opinion and is incontrovertibly true is that those two things have nothing to do with each other.

That's now what he said though. He just mentioned his observation that not so good VCs have less good-looking admins. Correlation != causation yada yada.

Correlation is not the same as causation, but it is highly correlated with it.
