He's right. Basically analysts are providers of sales materials to salesmen . In investments the salespersons are called brokers but they really aren't much different from good shoe salesman. It's difficult to explain obscure technology to to the end customer, so companies are analyzed that can be explained other ways. Also larger companies tend to have lower volatility which scares the customer less, and the analysts earnings estimates are more likely to be right, making him look smarter. Also a big cap company has the potential of more sales because of it's size and brand name recognition.
As far as the analogy between RCA and QCOM, we should remember that in the long run all of RCA's power didn't let it dominate the TV industry for very long.
