Totally wrong. The technical bias shown here is every bit as strong in American entrepreneurs who lack experience pitching a product. I see this still all the time and it took a few of these painful holding up a mirror experiences for me to start seeing things from multiple perspectives.

If they have the courage to really examine what went wrong here they will come back much stronger.

You're definitely right about the technical bias. Most comments here support this theory. I just offered a supplemental explanation, based on my experience.

Kudos to you for overcoming that bias. I'm still working on it.
