Yes, I agree with you, however I am speaking from current experience (I'm in the W10 batch and was at the conference last night). The extras are nice perks... very, very nice perks. The networking aspect is incredibly valuable (more so than I had foreseen). Yet, I maintain that those other things won't much matter if you don't prove your salt with your own startup. I was just responding to the "do YC just to get into these conferences" statement. That's all.
