Precisely. Whether you're getting shot down in dating or "not being accepted" for the <x> slots for YC, at the end of the day it is the same thing-- you / your pitch are coming up short in their opportunity cost calculation.
Frankly, who gives a damn whether they like your idea if they're not willing to invest?

I'd have thought knowing that they believe you have a good idea, just not quite good enough would be encouraging. Whilst knowing that even if there were space you wouldn't get accepted should probably be a big indicator that you should take a step back and see if you're riding a horse or a donkey. Similarly in dating - being rejected for someone _you_ consider a better catch is not a great problem; being rejected in favour of not having a date is far worse. >Kind words and happy thoughts are cheap Yes, it relies on an honest decliner.
