No, but my kids aren't asking for money based upon wrong claims, whether they know or don't. However, as adults, especially when you are pitching an idea looking for funding, you are expected to be factually correct. Being factually wrong, and then claiming ignorance isn't going to help build confidence in investors. Caveat emptor applies alright, but really, we aren't in grade school to actually let ignorance be an excuse here, especially given they are soliciting funds.

Of late, I'm seeing a lot of articles about Facebook doing this great thing or that. Agreed what they do is technically challenging and they are extremely interesting, but these also seem to be a sequence of puff-pieces meant to whip up the public with feel-good sentiments about the company before the IPO? The HN readership might want to keep that in mind while reading these articles - indeed, we did have another post a couple of days ago about exactly this - http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html

Quick Suggestion: Could you add an option to slice by car model? People would be more interested in looking for cars by brand+model than just brand.
