Comments like this reflect more on their author than the startups and management teams they're about. Have you ever been inside a startup, and seen how one one-thousandth of the relevant information ends up in the press, and even then it's distorted? We don't even have more than rumor that this deal exists -- that should hint to you the quality of your information. These players aren't stupid. You have no idea how much you don't know here.
- SRSimko 16y agoI would agree the devil is in the details because from the outside this doesn't seem to make sense.

- aarlo 16y agoA lot of the talk is from people who (should) have low confidence in their predictions. Meaning, there's a 80% chance this is bullshit, but hear my out anyways. Yes, many of the facts are wrong. The conclusions are wrong. So why should we still discuss? First, it's fun. Like a sport for us to watch (and some to play :). More importantly, though: Forcing yourself to open your eyes, stay engaged and keep an active mind about what's going on in the world. To practice thinking things through, even with limited information (you'll never have 100% information). This encourages curiosity - so you get more involved, ask questions, do research. Overall it helps you learn how the world works.
