So, the successful founders are futurists that are not cranks. And what would be the proportions of futurists that are not crank? That could be a good recipe to predict which founders will be successful...

Well, some might be cranks and also be successful. ;-)

That just gives you a Venn diagram with three circles Cranks, futurists and genius. The union there is exactly one
