That's beautiful. It not only gives us a relatively objective measure of genius, but it also explain's my fencing teacher's opinion that the most beautiful move is "feint direct; direct": - the feint direct shows a touch is possible
- the direct is the easiest possible touch
Of course, that almost never happens. RPF (like TAE) says that if you want to show it's possible, you have to schlep a lot beforehand discovering what's impossible ("you are in a maze of twisty passages, all alike"); Moore's Crossing the Chasm (1991) says that if you want to make it easy, you have to schlep a lot beforehand providing value to people who can make use of your stuff even before it's easy ("You are in a twisty maze of passageways, all different").EDIT: Lagniappe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1MlXmNSL7s#t=210s > Problems worthy of attack prove their worth by fighting back —PH |

With gratitude, i’d already riffen on this with “… [YC] proved its salt…”
Riffing on the schlep of “talking to users” my current (more designori-oriented?) variant is “building a marketplace Elon style”
