Am I the only one who finds VC telling entrepreneurs "everything is going to crash soon, so you better close soon and on whatever terms you can get" disingenuous?

I can't emphasize enough that making statements like these also make negotiations very favorable for investors. Sounds like the investors are in a crunch, and not the entrepreneurial spirit.
