"the Gorilla Game has been shown to be a questionable strategy."

The only strategy I've ever heard (but not tried) that didn't involve risk was put forward by Will Rogers. You've probably heard of it. The punch line goes "if it doesn't go up, don't buy it."
I think a lot of good companies that probably qualify as "Gorillas" were very reasonably priced for a few years, and I own a lot more shares of some of these same companies I owned in 2000.
No complaints so far.
I don't recall the part in the book where the authors claimed a general market decline doesn't take gorillas down with it, but then I only read the book once.
Sometimes I have to be patient, even after I'm tired of being patient.
