This is a totally legitimate point. But it's not that we're not fans of MVP, we're just also fans of vision-directed products like Facebook and Apple.
We have some people who are more MVP-leaning, and others who are "let's build the vision"-leaning. For example, Eric Reis is one of our board observers. But we all believe we should't fall back on dogma rather than using judgment and balance, and we think having a symphony of perspectives on the issue is valuable to deriving that balance.
We're committed to validating our hypotheses via customer adoption and metrics, but we're also committed to investing sufficiently in our framework, platform, and product that we can realize the whole of our ambition. Practically speaking, the user feedback right now is very consistent, and we know where we need to go. We absolutely need search, for example. Adding tons more users or doing more rigorous validation would slow us down from getting there. As the path ahead of us gets less clear, we will scale up our userbase and invest more in metrics and validation.
