I'm sorry, that's an insane statement.

Depends on the context, and what you are trying to evaluate.
Agree that bottom line the standings are the only thing that really matter about a team's season being deemed "successful" at the end of the day.
But if you are evaluating the coach or GMs effectiveness I think it's a fair point to say it's only part of the equation, and just an input in the overall decision that needs to be made. Mostly because there are times where other factors that the standings don't always tell you.
