Great stuff here.

Definitely some merit to reason #3 - people are more willing to work on something that they can easily build on top of.

New comment by shivpat in "Medical error is third biggest cause of death in the US, experts say"

This is a weak analysis.

"To determine the medical error death rate, the researchers analyzed data collected by the government and compared it with hospital admission rates from 2013. They extrapolated that information and found that 251,454 deaths in the US were caused by medical error that year."

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt
