I'm not saying it's the same; I'm saying they are points on a continuum. All of which you can walk away from at varying costs.

I'm perfectly ok letting down professional investors. And also the people I hired. And the users. And myself. That's the game; sometimes you lose.

But that doesn't mean I won't regret it when it happens. Or tell those people I'm sorry it didn't work. Or work hard to avert that outcome. That's also part of the game. At least that's the game I want to play.

I have no idea why that's controversial here.
