Not by pure luck, but by feel and luck, you twisted my words.
Let me assure you: On a wide body it is one degree that makes a difference. An A340-600 has something like 9.5° tail strike clearance but needs 12.5° initial lift off pitch attitude - make the maths. A widebody you cannot fly just by looking out of the window. And responsible TRTOs on medium range aircraft teach their pilots to fly them the same way like their bigger brothers - to get a common mindset.
