The author describes an interesting framework. The problem I find in praxis is, that founders know about principles Paul Graham or Peter Thiel talk about, but they have not internalized them and still fail to act according to them. The more complex the framework gets, the more opportunity is given to misjudge and fail to act on them.
Founders try to make something people want, they just misjudge what people want. They know, that they should fail fast but end up playing business anyway, because they are scared of talking to people and to actually fail.
I therefore think, that complex frameworks are interesting to look at but short catchphrases are more useful in praxis, because they are already hard enough to act by.
