It was great meeting the YC crowd. Here's my takeaway that people on HN seem to have missed.

Because this isn't warfare. War is pretty serious: massive armies fighting to the death and all. Very little is analogous to war, so lets find a new metaphor.

Its true that the analogy is different from war, but what really got me thinking is that in the grand scheme of things, trying to get things right the first time is overrated.

It may be obvious to some, but for me, it was a salient point.

What do you think makes the metaphor different?
