Surprising: Building a successful startup depends more on intelligence than tenacity. Tenacity determines the # of bets you will make, intelligence determines the quality of the bet. Just 3 bets that are 10X better will yield 1000X the result in the same time. @paulg thoughts?

Doesn’t the evolution of an idea require making hypotheses = placing bets?
Sure, but only bets at the level of "microcomputers seem to have a lot of potential, and Woz is really good at hardware."

Are you saying only high level bets are relevant? What about all the bets Woz was taking while building the hardware? e.g. “let’s try to use RAM for the brick representation” was a smart bet

Ah no... I think you're saying that most bets are pretty straight forward. So once you're smart enough to take a sufficiently good one, other things matter more. Fair.
