Fred Wilson said the Apple Watch wouldn’t be as successful as the iPhone. Business Insider then said Wilson proclaimed it would be a “flop”.

Wilson responding on Twitter:

@nichcarlson @jyarow why do you guys feel the need to put words in my mouth?????? i never said “flop” it so fucking annoying

Would you ask a bird why it flies? A fish why it swims? A slug why it glistens with ooze and eats your garden plants? A deer tick why it sucks the blood from other, more productive and better looking animals in the animal kingdom? No, Fred, you would not.
