"Why didn't you fund that startup" is exactly the sort of question Mr. Wilson should be able to answer--and he did below, generally. You're right that the thesis is a test. My question was because it wasn't clear that there was actually a way to fail the test, or at least I wasn't clear on what Mr. Wilson viewed as failing the test. I didn't ask why he didn't do something that hadn't occurred to him, I asked why we he didn't do something on which he makes a pretty deliberate decision. As I mentioned, in my own experience I heard a lot of "it's a move-fast environment", and I realized that I had no idea what that meant. It's like saying "be tall"--meaningless without a baseline or a standard of comparison, and yet everyone kept throwing around the phrase like it was a concrete observation.
