I think you're reading part of the description in a slightly stronger way than intended. Not strictly "don't care what happens", but more that chasing a unicorn exit isn't the only criteria for happiness from the result. Perhaps, "passion project" or similar could have been a better description.

Then again the whole thing is nebulous, and we can clearly see that people are reading and treating the question in their own way. I actually think that is what I liked about the description in the original post, it meant we saw the full range of really odd things and -- if we're honest -- a little cheeky grifting too ;)
