Well right, if the features that you need to validate aren't working, you won't be able to validate them.
But I have lost count over the number of times I or people I know have hesitated with releasing something out of perfectionism. This is fear--fear that you will look bad in the eyes of others because you made something that is of low quality. And if I was having a discussion with cofounders over whether to get something out and one person made the argument that we shouldn't because it's a MVPOS, that would be a huge indicator that said person was stalling out of perfectionism, not a rationale about whether we will be able to validate our hypothesis or not.

Perfectionism is a actually a great thing in doses since its proves you care about quality to your users. But shipping early allows you to course correct sooner. Both have their merits and should be balanced.
