It may also be that the big pile of folks here with experience in startups have done the math and can argue that working a startup isn't the best way to maximize the outcome of your time.
HN doesn't just have to be a "startups are the best" echo chamber.
I would be surprised if your hypothetical situation more closely models reality than mine. It's possible. I just don't think it's likely.
I would revise my position if more successful founders argue that it isn't worth it and I'd mildly revise it if more failed founders argue that it isn't worth it anymore.
