I think the "unfair" is tongue in cheek. It's not that there's an element of fairness, it's just so beneficial that there's really no reason not to do it. Sure, some people might not be able to for personal or family reasons. I think it's like how pg referred to accepting a slot in YC as an IQ test - if you have the opportunity, there's no better possible choice than taking it. Side question for pg: has anyone ever been offered a slot and declined? At this point with the track record and well-defined nature of the program, I don't see how you could get invited to interview and then not accept.
