I think this is a good observation, that the interest in this market as a whole creates a dearth of really poor business ideas. I think this is natural. But if you're in a startup incubator especially, you have to remember that those aren't the cream of the crop. They're people who will most likely fail, and the world will be better if they do (if the world wanted their product, and they're the right ones to build it, they would surely succeed). I've sat in tech incubators and overheard direction discussions and software discussions, and just laughed. My overwhelming thought was simply "That is the worst idea I have ever heard in my life." There were one or two companies that had good ideas, good people, and did well. They quickly moved out of startup kindergarten.
