Except that isn't what it is. MVP is a term taken directly from Lean Startup, in which Eric even includes concepts like the Dropbox "Video MVP" (http://techcrunch.com/2011/10/19/dropbox-minimal-viable-product/ http://techcrunch.com/2011/10/19/dropbox-minimal-viable-prod...) which arguably isn't actually a product and more importantly no one was paying them for it. The problem with MVP is people assume it's about how the adjectives "minimum" and "viable" apply to the noun "product" which is too a view (but one I had myself before actually reading TLS). The reality is it is just a placeholder for the process of lean validated learning.
