I don't think that problem is nearly as significant.

What you think is usually the limit of your experience, which effectively makes it anecdata. I've looked at enough companies and dealt with the aftermath of enough such instances that I beg to differ. It's possible that due to the nature of my business my experience is skewed in the other direction which makes that anecdata as well. But it is probably more important than you think (and less important than I think).
