There was no agonizing at all. It's a long form (and video) needing all founders discussion/input and the questions are tailored and formatted for YCs requirements.
Sending the application to other people or posting publicly isn't going to help understand why YC specifically rejected it either.
That's very true and I couldn't agree more but all causes need figureheads and knowing Gus as I do I'm sure that once he's got through this situation with help from the community he'll be right back in there to help the other people in similar situations that aren't able to raise a similar level of support.
I should add that we're not looking for a team of hackers that are themselves in need of rapid iteration but it is, in fact, the job spec that could do with said iteration :-)
