Most of this is noise: a gating network is not a dialectical opposition to basic venture capital prediction methods, but a conditional extension. The real question is the marginal utility and discipline of application, not a fundamental logical contradiction. If initial data are already biased, for example with overly optimistic startup valuations in India, a gating will only weight these narrative biases without correcting the underlying weakness. Control lies in the pragmatic evaluation of its actual contribution under specific market conditions, not in arbitrary theoretical distinctions.
