If SV VC thinking wasn’t dominant, how come they’re so rich?

Using money as a proxy for "dominant thinking" is a good example of SV VC thinking.

I’m riffing off of the adage, “if you’re so smart, how come you’re not rich?”

The conventional retort to that gambit has been “if you are so rich, why aren’t you smart”? Which is why you don’t hear that adage very much anymore.
