YC doesn't have time to do this, but if the YC partners can convince themselves that the founders both (a) know what they're talking about and (b) aren't lying, they don't need outside domain experts. They can use the founders themselves as domain experts when evaluating their own idea. This is why YC interviews aren't pitches. To give as many founders as possible a chance to get funded, we made interviews as short as we could: 10 minutes. That is not enough time for the partners to figure out, through the indirect evidence in a pitch, whether you know what you're talking about and aren't lying. They need to dig in and ask you questions. There's not enough time for sequential access. They need random access.

白话
YC面试只有10分钟,不是路演,而是问答。因为合伙人没时间通过间接证据判断你是否懂行、是否诚实,他们需要直接追问,随机访问而不是顺序访问。他们把你当作领域专家,通过提问来验证你的想法。所以,面试时不要准备长篇大论的路演,而要准备好回答各种深入的问题,展示你真的懂你在做什么,并且诚实。
