I was honest responding to an honest attack.

I can't believe he wasn't aware and expecting single founders would read the article. I accept opinions. I don't accept misrepresentations of opinions.

I prefer sounding hard than being silent.

circa 2007 "The ideal company would have two or three founders. We'll consider those with four or five. We're very reluctant to accept one-person companies, though we have accepted a couple." http://ycombinator.com/s2007.html

I must be missing it. To help me understand the error in my ways, can you:

a) identify specifically the part where I attacked?

b) cite where my position on the issue tried to be a statement of fact that was wrong.

Truth is: I do believe (as do many others) that having more than one founder increases of success. PG has gone on record as saying he won't fund startups with just one founder. Neither of these is factually incorrect. I could be wrong to believe it, but the statement of fact that I believe it is true.

a)the use of "explicitly": means absolutely--categorically

"there's a problem with finding a co-founder, that's an early signal of a problem (either with the founder or the idea or both),"

b) the fact that YC states they funded single founders is contrary to what you refer to

I never said that is not better to have more people.

Got it. Fair enough.
