> the notion that a bunch of internet strangers will be able to give you some miracle advice is absurd

While not miracle advice, I cannot think of a better venue to ask startup-related questions. I don't know anyone in real life, none of my friends do this, etc. In contrast, a substantial portion (if not the majority?) of users here have been part of a startup, and have firsthand advice.

Sure, it's not miracle advice, but the fact that these are strangers on the internet is not sufficient to discount the wisdom that many here are willing to share.
