1. Most of the startups are way too simple. - https://www.leapmotion.com/, https://www.microryza.com/, http://www.farmigo.com/, http://www.doublerobotics.com/ and the list could keep going.. I wouldn't call what these guys are doing simple.
2. Startups are founded by non-enterpreneurs. - There's a difference between starting a company legally and actually starting a company. I think the author is getting the two confused. The latter requires real work.
3. VC's are not your freinds. - We know. They're not expected to be.
4. Incubators sucks. - I would need more context to argue this point since none of was provided. Incubators are more than "Shared office and shared secretary" and there are plenty of examples of companies that have benefited from being part of this program. As a startup founder, getting noticed means a lot http://thenextweb.com/insider/2012/03/28/the-next-webs-top-t...
5. Incubator is not non-profit organization. - And..that's life?
6. All the good ideas are taken. - You should probably not start a company if you see nothing wrong with the world. "But do you know the complexity?" this directly contradicts author's point #1.
7. Incubators and startup accelerators must work with universities. - False.
