There seems to be a giant gap of perceptions and understanding on this topic. For some, an MVP seems to simply be a tool used to verify a concept in a marketplace. Some MVPs in this category are landing pages, mock-ups, or a shoddy app that you can hold up to someone and say "This isn't done by any stretch, but does this solve your problem?". For others, as may or may not be the case of what the author is imagining, the MVP represents the minimum useful product that you can deliver to the end-user to create value for them in exchange for money. The hair-splitting is then around the value exchange and the expectations between the creator and the end-user. And, there are probably still more permutations of the concept that I haven't even begun to imagine yet. However, I would say that using this MVP concept is more about learning what works while setting expectations with the end-users than it is about delivering the ugliest piece of non-functioning tripe you can fool the customer into paying for.
