What are in your opinion the top dogmas in VC?

I start with 5 (3 more in comments)

1 Bigger is better & correlation with fund success
2 VC firms only invest in large markets and avoid niches
3 VC do not invest in hardware
4 VC firms only chase "Winner-takes-most"
5 Founders should never insist for VC feedback

I would argue that bigger is not better. Lots of data about outperformance from smaller funds (that's why you see fund size discipline from T1s like Benchmark). Although LPs like big funds because they can create bigger cash on cash return (magnitude)
