You're certainly right about the first point, and some of the other advice in the article is good, under the right circumstances. However, it's hardly worth putting this wiki page on any kind of pedestal (or even, I'd argue, posting it here). A thousand people (even me: http://inter-sections.net/2008/05/07/13-tips-for-creating-a-successful-new-online-product http://inter-sections.net/2008/05/07/13-tips-for-creating-a-... - see tip 1) have already posted this and other "startup tips" in far more coherent forms. This one does not seem to add anything whatsoever to the discussion. In fact, it is considerably less good than some of the stuff out there (e.g. http://www.paulgraham.com/startupmistakes.html http://www.paulgraham.com/startupmistakes.html ).
