I would argue YC is very pragmatic about the criteria it uses to fund people. If this were an every-increasing spiral of BS to get into YC, then you'd be right.

Being plain spoken is basically the opposite of BS.
In the post I do note that this stuff is pretty handy for anyone explaining their business to anyone. You should be worried if it were only useful to YC interviewees.
- tyre 10y agoI agree with this. The best companies and founders in our batch were those who had thoughtful, direct answers to questions. Posts from VCs can be helpful to hear the kind of questions they'll ask and why they ask them (i.e. what they are worried about.) Answer directly and honestly.
