Yes, that's what we want to criticize.

OK, but that wasn't the gist of the article. The article was only about one company as if the author is unaware of how VC works, for better or worse.

If we listen to you, it would seem that SC is both blameless, and - in fact - not in trouble at all.

And that's all fine and well. It sounds plausible. But it seems like every company is "blameless, and things are actually going peachy... but we still need more funding". And at that point the whole thing starts to become unraveled.

Really, is that what I said? You are committing a logical fallacy concluding that "this article doesn't prove SC is in trouble" implies "SC is not in trouble". Also you are making a big assumption that I approve of the venture funding model as applied here.
