FWIW, I downvoted your comment simply because I don't think that kind of snarkiness is appropriate here on HN.
That said, I agree that there is some basic, foundational knowledge that it sounds like the author of this piece was missing. That's not uncommon among technologists though, in my experience. Myself, I was in this field a long time before I got around to reading "The Art of the Start" and "The Four Steps to the Epiphany" and that's when I really started to understand more about this "startup thing."
So yeah, I agree there is some stuff the OP might want to read / research / study... but I would suggest ditching the snarkiness in communicating that point.
