It almost sounds to me like if the product we end up with isn't what was envisioned, then it wasn't executed properly. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, since how it ends up is usually due to the market guiding the product's development; and if the market is holding your hand, you're probably making some money, which is the goal of most startups.
But I would bet that if you let the market dictate too much too soon, it will be harder to truly innovate, which is usually what the original vision was about. I'm obviously making some pretty big assumptions here but people know only what they know, and sometimes it takes carefully timed and constructed execution to snap them out of it to create a new paradigm and take things to the next level.
