The only weak spot I could find was "It took me a long time to figure out why founders don't listen."
I think sometimes their advice is packaged in a data backed, falsifiable way. For example, JL's: "I don't know of a single case of a startup that felt they spent too much time talking to users".
But sometimes it's just "Because I said so".
In the latter case it would be better if they showed their CSV backing their advice, or took the time to reformulate into a testable, falsifiable piece of wisdom.
