I love this post because everyone in this community takes the Lean Startup truths to be self evident, however, the rest of the 99% still ascribe to truths that are unbelievably archaic. I see this all the time in bschool (luckily bschool entrepreneurship curriculums are teaching Lean methods now) as well as on matchist, where the #1 question entrepreneurs ask me when they submit a project is: "How do I make sure developers don't steal my idea?"

Generally, I know by this question that this person will not make it past that phone call/email because if they are so worried about a developer stealing their idea, there is likely nothing there/they haven't done their research/they are not serious.

Great post, to us here some things are evident but there is another world out there perhaps 4.2 lightyears away or perhaps closer. But in this world things accepted as norms, like logical argument, validating, hard data are not the norm, and its common-sense or "what i know is right" is the norm. Its baffling and this post was a great eye opener, as we are stuck in the four walls that we have built around ourselves sometimes and forget to peer outside...
