Are you really looking at it from the point of view of running a angel investment firm, or from the point of view of a someone not wanting more competition either for YC places or in the startup world?
Sorry my comment wasn't really very clear. If you were running a YC clone, how would you feel about encouraging people to join startups? I think you're a little quick to dismiss people who aren't initially very keen on startups. Just questioning if perhaps your opinion comes from a place where you don't really want others to see the startup light.
I wish EVERY technical person would see the startup light. It would be a great boon to the economy. It escapes me how they can't, as statistically they probably report to someone who is not as intelligent as they are (a suit). All I am saying is that if they have such a low level of testosterone that they would choose reporting to a boss over being their own, you probably shouldn't waste your time.
