Re:Ask HN: Survivor Bias. Why don't we focus more on startup... by econner on Wednesday November 21, 2012 @12:21AM (#4812957)
Hmm yea that's a good point. I guess my thought was that founders are almost unilaterally interested in learning from successes over failures. For example, Startup School doesn't consist of a bunch of speakers who have only failed at starting startups because not many people would want to hear from Joe-Schmoe who failed. Maybe it has some who failed once or twice and then succeeded, but they still suffer from survivor bias.
