The humor here is pretty much clear. And it helps to deal with the bitter reality of how often founders do not make idea validation on a proper level. According to this report by CBI Insights 35% of the startup failures is due to "no market need".

The founders definitely make their homework, participate in incubation programs, the make customer development and do validate the ideas with the customers. But even when interacting with the customers they stay focused on their original idea and ignore any sign that the idea is not the best one.
