I had the opportunity to interact with Prof. Might when I was in grad school; hearing about his son and the struggles has been heart wrenching at times, more so after hearing him speak about it in person.

lol, although I might have to take some blame by putting a link in my comment to begin with.

Note: Keep in mind that some folks publish on Arxiv because it is far easier than going through a traditional publication process. As such, you sometimes get not-as-polished works like this, although they might update the article to fix some of those references.

I'd concur, the generalization of one being better than the other just doesn't fit. I've worked for companies that fit into both situations and it really comes down to whether the founder had the skills to begin with or whether they were willing to admit that they needed help on the day-to-day operations & maintenance, etc.
