I would have thought this was relatively obvious. Many new ideas and applications are marketed on HN quite validly under Show HN. However, the first pass at marketing an application may not reflect its form further down the line. For example, we often see poor landing pages, or simply landing pages that don't convey the problem succinctly enough to quickly satisfy our short attention spans. A few months or years down the line and these development teams have homed their product, ironed out the bugs and built landing pages that are easy for anyone to understand quickly. Interesting none the less. Hence, what is launched on HN != its final form and cannot determine future success.
