We understand how to run faster, through a combination of hard work and favorable morphology. We're don't understand what will make a startup successful. But we do know that easy and obvious ways to make money are already being done by someone else. If you want to do something new, you have to do something different.

But I also appreciate the viewpoint that you need to be strategic about what you do differently. Buying solutions to problems you aren't actually trying to solve is very reasonable.
