The problem lies in when you try to blindly apply these assumptions without anything to back it up. This is true of anything in life.
I get that we sometimes have gut feelings that we can't explain. We have to be honest with ourselves though. "Is it just that I don't want to face reality, or is there truly something that I can't put into words drawing me in this direction?"
- that it can be fixed by a low-bureaucracy, Angel-funded startup
- that any skill is just a matter of 10,000 hours of practice
Some of these things are correct sometimes. Many industries have been doing things wrong for very long, and massively productive changes disrupted the industry. Who knew that boiling water would change the coal industry forever? Some guy came up with the pump idea and changed everything. The mine owner that invested in him made a lot of money. The industry changed. Things like that happen.
