Except that's not what was advertised. In fact, the announcement said explicitly that they weren't going to fund companies purely based on voting.

You're being kind of disingenuous. The announcement said that all evaluation would take place in open HN threads, but it didn't.
You're right, they were more generous than the original announcement suggested. If I had been in Kevin's shoes I would have rejected pinboard based on the content of the thread rather than holding an ad-hoc phone interview to give you a chance to redeem yourself.
