What you are suggesting is that YC become more risk-averse (e.g. take less risks on founders that might be too aggressive).

If YC ever fails, it will be because they stopped taking risks, not because they took too many. For every 5 companies that rocket up and flame out spectacularly, there'll be a company that rockets up and stays up.
