Totally agree - I don't know why this was explicitly stated. I mean, how many founders would do a startup in a serious manner with a vision for failure? Every founder _will_ believe that they startup will succeed.

It would make for good parody material:

"You've heard of 'fail fast', right? We're taking it to the next level: failed out of the starting gate!". Something like that.

A whole ecosystem of startup-support companies built around helping you fail even faster would be good to have in the parody. "site sinker", "business buster", etc (but of course with more clever web 2.0 names).

Oh heck, don't laugh. That's happened to me a couple of times already!
