Anyone can fail, no matter how dominant or successful they are at the moment"

Yup. No one ever said that LTB&H meant LTB&H forever. Specific cautions are given about holding Kings lightly and about the potential for Gorillas to lose their position, though not so quickly.

Is there any market in which you would consider Xerox dominant today?

OT: Was XRX ever a gorilla? Maybe a king in terms of photocopiers in an earlier era, before e-mail and various software products helped cut the need for mass-photocopying... and its wilful abdication of the first GUI gorilladom to Apple is now folk lore. Actually TFM covers the death of a gorilla quite well...XRX will no doubt make for another good "don't less this happen to you" case study for B-school kids :-)
