| > Very classy of you to post this kind of biased and offensive comment. I don't know how my comment was "biased and offensive", I even said I liked the approach in general? I pointed out factual inaccuracies and things that don't make sense in your landing page copy and sample report, that's all. > I am not spamming people. I send them a request if they can fill out the survey to help a company. All of the people we contacted agreed to be contacted. I was using "spamming" in the sense of "mass-emailing people". This introduces a non-response bias. > the question "How accurately do you think this idea solves the problem?" should explain that. I still don't understand this question. Does a flower shop _accurately_ solve the need for floral gifts? It's just not a term I would use in this context, but ok, hopefully your survey respondents will understand what it means :). > Sorry, I can guarantee you that's not what you're doing." - great, how? Let's suppose I place an order for the following idea "I want to open up a burger food truck next to the AmeriCar Insurance office building in Chappaqua, NY" - this is your example on your landing page. No problem, right? Please don't make promises that you can't keep. I'm not saying one or the other approach is better - there's definitely a need for both, I just don't think that you can consistently deliver this. Good luck! |
Mmm, imagine someone in real life presents their project to you and the first thing you say to them is that it "looks like a quickly thrown together MVP without a real product" and that their graphs "makes zero sense." Really imagine saying that to someone out loud.
Could you really blame them for being offended? Just because we're on HN doesn't mean we cease to be humans with feelings.
