It undermines what he's saying, but there's a different connotation to fortunate versus lucky. To me it's the difference between winning at a casino versus avoiding the hazards of life and reaping the benefit of your hard work.

he even admits its because he happened to meet certain people. having an opinion of them meaning different things doesnt make them stop meaning the same thing. good fortune is the same as luck.
