Several departures at Kleiner Perkins

For the same reason Hemingway, Tolstoy and Faulkner write differently. The original text is only applicable when both are viewed positively. Your sentence applies when it's the less crappy of two options.

I wouldn't compare the work of Hemingway, Tolstoy, or Faulkner to that sentence.

Seriously. That's like comparing a Picasso, a van Gogh, or a da Vinci to something you find on a bathroom stall in some dive bar.

Unless it's Banksy's art in that bathroom stall.

Hemingway's style is much more simple than Tolstoy - no doubt he would decry the flowery, unnecessary language of the KP partner. Can't speak for Faulkner but this guy is trying to emulate Dostoevsky
