"VERY smart VCs and entrepreneurs" are still human. I don't think they believe they can predict the future you might not want to limit yourself by assuming they can. Do other people consider you to be an expert at something? If so, do you not still experience "Ah ha!" or "Oh shit!" moments? Failing to get agreement from YC/TS is the result of a myriad of reasons and doesn't mean you should stop. That seems just silly. If I'm trying to teach you how to play Chess and you can't figure out how the Knight works, should I just give up on trying to teach you? The Knight does move, other people do understand it so sooner or later I should be able to figure out how to teach you to play Chess. Other people do get into YC/TS and they do start tech companies just like mine. I see no reason to give up because I/you haven't been able to get them to agree with you yet.
