My simple response is, "Denial is a river in Egypt." Paul Graham is not an impartial observer in this debate. YC (and by extension him) are some of the loudest advocates for the current startup generation. Should a bubble burst around them, YC would stand to loose tremendously in money and prestige regardless of the merits of their individual investments.
