"Just because you can doesn't mean you should" is what comes to mind for me when reading this. It also reminds me of how often, in the past two years, I've had to push younger founders to adapt a more pessimistic (I call it realistic) view of the business world than they naturally have. A deal is on the table - start by asking how it could fall apart, where the holes are, what's wrong with it. If you're owning/operating a business, you should have a nice healthy dollop of distrust in almost all your doings. That could solve so many of these "problems" that are simply born of naivete.
