"Mudge submitted an early version of AtD to Y Combinator Demo Day, Spring '09 and was promptly rejected."

I imagine that YC rejects EVERYBODY that applies to YC DEMO DAY.

I'm not sure whether this is supposed to be a jokingly phrased insight or criticism or just a plain joke, but I don't get it. Would someone care to explain?

Demo Day is where all the startups in a round demo what they've been working on. Thus, applying then would be a bit late for that round and a bit early for the next.
