1) "Good people" is relative, and even good people still sometimes do bad things.
2) No detector is perfect, and so a metric of "no YC company has done anything bad" seems strong. Something like, "YC companies are less bad on average than others".
3) Their definition of "good" is not 100% congruent with yours.
4) The high-pressure environment of startups is a double bind. If you don't do at least some bad things you fail, or at least lose out to non-good people.
