The problem with these lists is that they're aimed at folks who are generally competent, albeit inexperienced. But I observe a good percentage of would-be entrepreneurs who aren't even competent enough to launch a product and grow a business to the level where they'd even have a chance to make one of these mistakes. Or, phrased more delicately, while there are sticking points at each level of business, it seems that many (most?) people hit the ones they can't surmount earlier on in the process than what these lists are designed to help with.
Should this article be kept off the internet simply because qualified people may not read it? What you said is true, but it's not clear what you're arguing against.

I don't disagree, but wisdom of things you haven't hit yet can influence early decision making.
