>it will still influence people who read it long into the future

I can’t see anyone with any understanding of statistics being influenced by this “study”, but I do agree there is a real risk that the less skilled VCs might be influenced by it, but I thought you weren’t supposed to accept dumb money anyway :)



It would be nice if it was true,but cognitive psychology indicates we are influenced by things we once believed even if we no longer believe them.
