HMS allows a founder to continually list things that have not been tried in total, to believe in the savior lodged around the corner which they’ll get to before they run out of time. Paradoxically, that faith means that you will likely never uncover that secret - if it does exist (and very rarely is there a single silver bullet for any company). Committing halfway fundamentally means that you will not fully understand any piece of that halfsies strategy. It means that, should the strategy fail, you will not fully understand the reason for it. While, in some instances, that may mean you avoid a number of bad roads, it will also mean that your ability to identify the right road will be materially decreased.
