A comment on You Are the Exception to the Rule. Parent comment

If a comment like that can discourage you, you are not ready. It's like starting to train for a marathon and quickly forgetting the idea because you don't like your shoes, or something equally trivial.

If you think I exaggerate, try staying focused on your startup after months of investor rejection (which is the norm, by the way).

Yes it can discourage someone, especially if it adds up. My point is that it doesn't really help anyone. You're not doing anyone any favors letting them know a couple months ahead of time their chances are slim. They'll find out themselves if they're the 1% or 99%.
