Would you agree there's some middle ground between "I cannot tell a lie" and "I will do anything to make sure the company survives, including lying to customers"?
Sure. But there isn't much middle ground between success and failure.
Until your small startup is succeeding, you're just a failure in progress. And statistically, failure has the better odds --- probably due to a lot of half hearted attempts aimed at the middle ground.
If the most substantive thing you can say involves fixating on the definitions of “success” and “failure”, then I overestimated how productive of a conversation this would be. Have a good day.
