Risk Assessment
Sesame seeds are unnecessary. They add no nutritional value. They're just there to look nice.
But they get everywhere. In your teeth. On your clothes. Unpredictable.
The Principle
Eliminate unnecessary risks. This applies to investing too.
Why take a risk that offers no upside? Remove the sesame seeds from your portfolio.
Peter, this is... oddly specific. Are you okay?
I've removed all sesame products from the office kitchen as a precaution.
This is the most rational thing I've ever read from a VC.
