This is a somewhat nonsensical talk, although maybe it may be out of the full context. The software industry is littered with failed projects that people have taken great interest in and built huge teams around. Just because people have shown interest in a product and have developed full teams around doesn't indicate there is any value there.

Our personal bias makes every thing we are interested in a "win". The real goal is find the failures as quick as possible and weed them out.

She is right, many people dismiss projects as failures too quickly.

Often people just don't get what is on offer and they just need to be repackaged before they take off.
