They wrote "anyone":

What you've written also applies to founders. Why not write: "any founder is delusional. Unless they succeed, in which case they're just lucky."
But if that is true, nobody should admit being a founder during the delusional phase. If they succeed, they should never give advice.
Except that 10,000x multipliers exist, and the reason I listen to successful founders is to learn from them.
The gp poster isn't a 10,000x-er. That says more about them and their career than it does about startups.
- s73ver_ 9y agoSorry, but no. You've gone off track. And their post applies to far, far, far more people than your would apply to. This talk of 10,000x-ers is just ludicrous.
- logicallee 9y agoYes, their post applies to nearly everyone. That doesn't give them the right to call the exceptions naive, delusional, and misled.
