Besides the main points raised (and debated here), there a few things that are off-putting to me:

1) This whole thing smells like a PR stunt to get his name out, starting with a click-bait highly attractive title "How I lost $200M".

2) The production value of his video to get the message out. Why? Why put so much effort into that video? You know, you could just write a blog post.

3) I am cynically presuming Garry wants his name to get out there as much as possible as a VC that he is today. Besides that, this whole thing smells of humble-brag.

Really off-putting approach. Sorry, Garry, but this is how I feel.
