> Reasons people give for why they failed are no more reliable than reasons they give for why they succeeded

100% true.

That's why when you learn about other ventures, successful or not, what the founders say are the important features aren't really the part that you should pay the most attention to.

What specifically in your opinion are you supposed to pay attention to?

What actually happened.

A founder's analysis of the events is not without value, and shouldn't be ignored, but it's not the most important part. Any founder's analysis will be heavily subjective, after all.

Founder awareness of what even happened in my experience is highly biased. Likely even worse than reliability of eyewitness testimony, since they were actively participating in the situation.
