This feels uncomfortably close to a personal attack.
Not everything can be built via MVP-and-iterate. How much further could a project be from the MVP-and-iterate sweet spot than a brand new CPU architecture?
People should be free to try wild new things, whether they succeed or not. A strong visionary, once at speed, won't be stopped by nitpicking comparison to less ambitious things. But I worry about how many nascent visionaries we miss out on when the culture trains us to disparage those impulses in ourselves, and so many people tell you you're doing it wrong.
