@paulg they were separate gripes. I don't like TAM slides in general. -

@thedesignnomad no. but ones that don't have that possibility are less exciting. -
@joshu That's fair. How do you ascertain how legit they are / will be if they start off with a likely ludicrous claim? -
@thedesignnomad they don't have to be big ideas to have big impact. but mostly it's somewhere between a gut check and working prototypes.

@paulg I don't really want to have an argument again on Twitter. But I do generally have good reasons for believing things. -
@joshu Two bad reasons to be tweeting in general. -
@hardy101 having opinions and arguing about them? -
@joshu If you 1) don't want to argue and 2) have reasonable beliefs, Twitter is not the place. -
@hardy101 I think some stuff I believe is justifiable but not reasonable. Otherwise they wouldn't be interesting things to believe? -
@joshu Beliefs are based on our closest approximation of truth. Reason binds justifiable ideas together. -
@hardy101 Then I was not using reasonable to mean reason. I retract my statement; I believe things that are justifiable but not usual. -
@joshu A contrarian, out-of-the-box thinker. Isn't everyone in Silicon Valley? That's the investor analog to the children of Lake Wobegon. - 1 more reply
