      Your claim is that they should be paying for the education they are getting. My claim is that they are not paying the angels or forum organisers to 'teach them the basics,' regardless of what they get. The proposition moving money from one wallet to another is the "you can get funded this way" proposition. If that proposition is effectively fraudulent, the original blog posts sentiment is correct. Being able to opt out doesn't negate the claim that this is fraud. BTW, I have also quoted and addressed the same sentence you accused me of skipping. I considered it and I was not convinced. Founders are not paying for education. maybe you think they should. But they don't. Charging them to pitch and giving them education instead on the grounds that they need it is not ok. Entitled or not.
