Do you mean the post or my comment is part of the problem? I don't think you read the post. Why do you bring in Peter Norvig and his level of achievement, if he got where he is by leaving the office at 5pm everyday, I would love to hear the facts. The post asked why are startups that attempt to achieve greatness so celebrated? and also why are the opinions of those who dare greatness valued more that someone who is very happy in his averageness? And, why try if we know most will fail? I think someone can achieve greatness working 9-5, I think someone who works 9-5 can have great insight, knowledge, and be truly happy. But the post question was Why do people consider startups to be a big deal?, and the answer is, because they are.
