The difference is that the dragon will actually be right more often than not. This would be like if a hedge fund actually worked instead of breaking average or even underperforming literally throwing darts at a board to decide whether to sell or buy.

I don't think it actually matters whether they make smart decisions or not though, they put a ton of money in and regardless everyone goes along and they make a profit from it.

They dictate the market rather than follow it

Hedge funds almost universally under-perform index funds. They don't dictate anything, they're just objectively bad at everything except marketing. They make their profits on fees they charge their investors.
