As someone who graduated from the last class (S12) I definitely take issue with the "too much polish" on slides comment. PG tells us many times to NOT spend weeks making a pitch deck because it will likely change dramatically during practice. Sure, we are coached and our pitches evolve, but this happens over the course of a few days and we still keep our slides extremely simple because we have 2:15 to speak.
