You think that starting with an idea leads to fragility and that there is an off chance that you succeed. You are probably right. You state an alternative process which you say is leads to higher success rate. Great, but where is the proof? The part where you say this has increased success rate from X% to Y% with other variables kept constant is missing.
- melonakos 14y agoYou say that this blog article would be improved if he had quantified the success rate of his observations, and you say claim this would constitute "proof" of the goodness of his post. Where's your proof that quantified metrics would make the post any better, or that indeed such quantified metrics would even constitute such "proof"? Just giving you a hard time :)
- martinkallstrom 14y agoA quantified proof might not be needed, but at least the slightest indication to if he has seen this process work in the real world would have made the post much more useful.
- filip01 14y agoExactly. Since he's not suggesting any other actual methods, IMO this is more of a sensationalist way of saying that startups should base their ideas within an area where the founder is comfortable and knowledgeable.
