You guys are acting as if Evan publicly said those things. Keep in mind that the source of this is a private email exchange. He's not talking bullshit just for the hype of it.
This is something that the guy and his team had obviously put a lot of thought on, and the position they had right now is something that we couldn't even imagine. Yeah, many people can say that they understand how SV works but they don't have Snapchat in their hands. Snapchat is arguably the hottest startup right now and even as some people may disregard it as a "dick picks app", the reality is far from that. Put some rationale into it, this is not another Zynga, Rovio, whatever, this is not a fad; people do not just stop messaging each other and move to "something else", well, they actually do and they may move to Snapchat.
Also they didn't sell out; would you let down $750M in cash if you didn't have a plausible plan to make even more? Come on guys, don't be naive...
