I share your thoughts exactly, and why YC talks about biotech I just can't picture it. I don't doubt their efforts, but I can't picture it.
However, I've always thought that with the right network and influence one could make major shifts in a whole industry if the timing is right. As history has shown us, all we need is one breakthrough way of doing things and previously closed doors are busted open. If YC convinces enough people along the biotech foodchain, they can at least get a good crack at it.
I'd love to see a post specifically about what they have in mind for biotech.

Me too. I am happy to be proven wrong. There are elements of biotech that could use more risk taking, but they seem to ignore some of more "mainstream" (yet relatively knew) technologies where there may be room for innovation.
