Hmm... Why? It seems a bland, but rational statement. It's a simple way to say that they strive to pick the best ones. Yes, it's almost useless, but it's a way to get the conversation going.

As a lottery player, I only strive to pick the winning numbers.
Perhaps it comes across as a little uppity.
Do any VCs strive to invest in, say, the second quartile of YC batches?
