Nothing is perfect. If you go on Amazon or Yelp and look up reviews for high-end products or restaurants, there is always that one reviewer that complains the service is one millisecond to slow, the temperature is one hundredth of a degree short, and the experience isn't quite like the insane ideal they've built up in their head. But for most pragmatic people, a good high end product passes all reasonable standards of quality, so they don't bother going out of their way to find quirks and then complain about them.
YC is full of pragmatic people, by virtue of the interview process. This set is disjoint from the set of people that would give a BMW 7 series a one star review, because in order to build a successful business you need the types of people that focus on the right things. If someone held a gun to my head and asked me to list everything I was dissatisfied with at YC, I could probably find some quirks, but I'd really be grasping at straws. After they offered us investment without a single line of code or a single customer, welcomed us as if they knew us for years and not once questioned our decisions, gave us advice and introductions necessary to get the company off the ground, guided us to find additional investment when the country was in the worst recession since the Great Depression, after all these things, complaining that the quality of free food at dinners doesn't quite live up to a meal at Peter Luger would be... just plain strange.
