How to not suck in VC pitches

Regarding the article, this advice seems to align with most of the stuff posted relating to pitching.
Number 4, though, may give people the wrong message. It seems to say, "Don't pursue a market with strong competition." If that were the case, Google wouldn't exist. Most VC's and Angels, from what I've read, aren't so fazed by competition, but rather see it as a sign of a lucrative market. The author seems to think that "value" (yes, it was in quotes) is a strange competitive advantage, but I'd argue that if value wasn't your key competitive advantage, you're doing something wrong.
Other than that, it's a pretty informative read. No need to reinvent the wheel.
Appreciate the feedback, new to hacker news and I titled it that way because of the sentence "What amazes me is how poorly crafted many of these presentations are." Apologize if it wasn't best practice.
Agree that the number 4 bullet seemed vague. The way I read "value" was "cheapness" rather than creating value-add, but I might be reading it wrong.
