Dreadful post. Why, exactly, does he have a hard time believing it? The post doesn't say; it merely re-iterates that the author is incredulous. Closest you get is this: "What ever happened to looking at the team, their vision, their track record, how well they’re executing, is the product solid, etc." Which doesn't dismiss the point of the original. Say you look at those things ... exactly how good could they be to outweigh the fact that the CEO downwards are extracting exorbitant amounts of value from a fledging firm? The original article's point is: never good enough. There are similar truisms in many fields. (eg, the now well-cited example that the only thing that truly dooms a relationship is contempt). Finding them takes experience, and incredulity doesn't counter that.
