I don’t get the hairsplitting here—it seems obvious to me that if you build the wrong feature, you have to replace it with something else which needs building as well as something akin to demolition of the first feature. Repeat this cycle more than once for the same feature and it clearly accrues to real impact… the 100x may be exaggerated but that’s beside the point to me — I think even 2x or 3x on a feature is regrettable and oftentimes avoidable

It depends on how much money you make from getting features out faster. And how much happier your customers are to have the average feature earlier. If the cost is only 2x or 3x, there are many situations where the benefits are bigger. If it's 100x there are a lot fewer such situations.
