Was this article written in response to Seth Levines comment? What Seth Levine doesn't know or doesn't want to tell is that a lot of YC alums could raise the 5K/founder on their own, so money is NOT the primary reason they are there.
I'd been thinking of taking that footnote out, since it seemed like everyone now finally understood us. But when I saw that old dumb argument again in the USA Today article, I decided to leave it in.

What a slimy move. It won't make any difference in the long run though.
What a shame!
