I generally agree that MVP tends to be cargo-culted rather than chosen as an intentional strategy. Most people who tend to spew the term often don't even know what they mean. I also agree on people tending to focus way too much on the 'minimum' and not nearly enough on the 'viable'. for example, how can you know if investing in the UI or design of a product is necessary for viability? I've seen that any interesting UI is often cut in the effort to find an MVP... but, well, sometimes an interesting design actually increases viability.
