Interesting intellectually, but sort of self-defeating as a field of inquiry. The delineation between wicked and non-wicked problems is itself effectively arbitrary and artificial. It is odd and somehow amusing to see the 'academic' (analysis-paralysis) lens focusing on perception failures in the (bias toward action/fail fast/fail forward) field of 'entrepreneurial' activity.<p>Compare to received startup wisdom: reduction is fine, often 80:20 is good enough, and failures are expected. You miss all the shots you don't take. Sometimes moving in the right general direction with wrong perception is the best path to progress. Learning is a goal.<p>The percentage of failed ventures which can be directly attributed to reduction-related problems of founder perception is probably very small.
