No. Rather, I have no information that I trust to convince me one way or the other as to their honesty, so I choose to ignore that data.

I had not, however, considered that they have already been vetted by PG and YC. Perhaps I have a small reason to trust their claims. Even so, I'd give it the same weight in decision making as known hyperbole, at best. I'll only completely trust the claim if I have verifiable sources.
