Yes, they will. And so will many other people in many other industries. I know numerous people who've had the "lets start a bar/music venue/restaurant" idea, and failed dismally (because they're difficult industries to break into and become successful in), never mind stacks of other business owners who pick a niche and struggle in it.

Basically, I don't see it as an inherently bad thing. Until we've got Culture terminals and a Hub to chat with to convince us why something is a bad idea, I believe it'll always be this way. The other thing is that sometimes it works, so being an entrepreneur can have the same allure as a lotto ticket, only with even more illusion of control.

I thought this was a great post by OP, and I thank him for it.
