Comment on How We Uncovered the Real Identity Behind “Startup L. Jackson”

Great analysis, and really glad Josh didn't out SLJ.

SLJ is great because, due to his anonymity, his ideas stand on their own merit. Being outed killed Fake Steve Jobs; it'd do the same to SLJ.

Unlike Fake Steve Jobs, I honestly get real insight out of things SLJ says. I guess it's possible outing him would force him to be a little less snarky, which would be really disappointing. SLJ snark is an awesome antidote to the SV cheerleading that dominates a lot of people's twitter feeds.

I do wonder though, given the outcome, whether they did get a knock from the wolf.

He's precise like that.

Your response is a non sequitur, which could explain the downvoting (though certainly not by me). My comment was a reference to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANPsHKpti48

Then why are you under the table?
