This is really similar to the argument that it is foolish to bicker over seed valuation. It is difficult to compare skill set value during the first week of a product launch and when the company has critical mass or momentum. There are a ton of mitigating factors that push a company out of founding stage that arent product, code, marketing, relationship or related to traditional skill.

Its an imperfect science and an abstract distraction at a time when it is not a top priority.
