Really? Some parts of this website used to push that hard back in the "MVP" phase. And I've been here nearly as long as you (I made an account much later after lurking for years) -- what was that start-up that was a website that literally fed into an excel spreadsheet, to fake having a real product?

The growth hacking stuff took that idea even further, and for quite a while was all over this website.

That said, I disagree with said "wisdom", I just find it interesting that we've got diametrically opposed views on how this website perceived it!
