I doubt it. "Naughtiness" is creativity combined with a lack of conscience, which is a good way to make a quick buck. Regulatory arbitrage or capture, exploiting known cognitive biases, and creating subtle information asymmetry should all feature prominently in "YC 1[6-9]."


If we're trying to define the better side of naughtiness, I'd substitute "an irreverent and inquisitive attitude" for "a lack of conscience" in your definition above.
