You're right that we don't know, but as I mentioned above it was McClure's post that tipped me because it confirmed most of what happen (McClure even said 'it's not that your post is wrong'). I can imagine a scenario where the VCs discussed

Good post. It comes down to inexperience, and I am sure we have all been through it ("pfffft.. I could do that in 4 hours" -- younger me). There were red flags in their kickstarter post: * "We are four talented young programmers from NYU’s
