Well, there's never a compelling argument that someone had a bad strategy once their product is a financial "success." They may have simply won a lottery, by the argument won't sound convincing.
Another thing that bothers me is: if you're making a shitty project, what is the point? You become what you do. If your project is bullshit, and you're spending all day strategizing, you'll wind up attracting idiots as customers, and scumbags as employees. Why bother... easier to go into banking or something.
