Founder team A with resources M accomplish X.
Founder team B with resources (M+other accelerator) accomplish Y.
If not (Y >> X) => Founder team B did something wrong or squandered the extra resources. That's a bad signal.
This holds unless you make the assumption that the other accelerator provided zero value. And if it did, then that reflects poorly on the founder team that chose that accelerator, baring something exceptional happening.
Pretty straightforward to expect more from teams who have had access to more resources.
