Startups fail all the time, many with people working endless amounts of hours. I wouldn't go using that as an argument-clearly work hours != success. It may to a certain extent but clearly working insane hours can also be a waste of time.

It's interesting that you make a blanket statement, but call another blanket statement "silly." Perhaps there are more people than we think that can come in, get to work, and deliver quality. It's interesting that this suddenly doesn't become an issue when something needs done off hours with a short deadline-then they CAN come in and work right away, right?
