"Well thought out features that deliver value, even if they take a bit longer to come to market, will (in my opinion) deliver more ultimate value to the product and to the user experience."
The important thing to notice there in the quote is that there are two steps to "delivering more ultimate value".
The first step is more thought. Well obviously. No-one is saying slap any load of crap down and expect someone to pay for it.
The second is "that deliver value". This appears to be the one most missed by people, in my experience, and is the raison d'etre of MVP. If the market doesn't exist and if you aren't solving a genuine problem that you can both communicate and be delivered economically then it doesn't matter how much you "think".
This is why MVPs are important: an empirical guide to work out what should be done, not sitting at your desk pontificating with your wise-ass rationalisations, abstractions and reductions of human behaviour and reality.
