Lesson learned: Don't upload a fun, story-telling presentation online for fear that a third-party may submit it to HN where you will likely be ridiculed not only for not applying scientific-study-level-rigor to every bullet point and image you've placed on your slides, but also for events of your past that are constructed from nothing more than tenuous inference and speculation.

You guys are a lovely and welcoming bunch. I'm sure YC, successful startups, and potential founders really desire rockstars like you who've got this wondrous natural ability for unnecessary criticism.



Most people (I hope) were only commenting on the title being misleading and not trying to ridicule you or the presentation.

Big words for someone who just created an account to critique this submission.
