I don't mean to insult or claim you're not thinking thoroughly or clearly, but this appears to me to be gross oversimplification of several deep topics wrt developing new technologies, the mission to advance the advent of sustainable energy and transport, and founding billion-dollar companies.

Also I think it's intellectually dishonest to claim you would be incapable of your perceived level of dishonesty, because you yourself are selling the idea that it's dishonest based on these gross oversimplifications.

It is dishonest to sell a product that doesn't exist, that seems pretty simple.

Don't tell Kickstarter. :)

Kickstarter has never really been a pillar of honesty in the online community, has it?

If customers understand that it's not yet in existence, what is the dishonest part?
