Unfortunately, your assumption is completely false. Paul Graham has been wildly successful in the corporate arena. For just one example, he's responsible for the software behind yahoo shopping's dynamic web stores (which was written in Lisp). While I don't agree with the man on a lot of things, his track record lends him quite a bit of credibility.
