Ah, the "there has to be a pony in there somewhere" [1] theory.
Am I going to look at every MLM scheme or perpetual motion machine to explain in detail why this new one is just as bad as the rest? No. I looked at a bunch, formed a general impression and a reasonable theory as to why they're all bunk, and have stopped wasting my time.
If somebody has a specific one that they'd like to argue is different I'm willing to listen. But I'm not going to look at 500 supposed startups and figure out the flaws one by one.
