Camil told the room exactly where SoundScrub breaks down (no spatial selection, a practical clip-length limit) and it made his strong claim, that it beats DaVinci Resolve at isolating a named sound, more believable, not less. Naming your limits signals that you understand your own product and are not overselling, which is precisely what makes your genuine advantages credible. Buyers trust a founder who volunteers the edges. Hiding the limits only means the user discovers them later, at the worst possible moment, and stops trusting everything else you said.
