I’m so glad you went back and decomposed what is really meant here by Founder mode. My argument was always this: if founders were successful as managers, they would remain in place when the business scales up. It’s a hard transition, and there are some excellent managers (Frank Slootman is a poster child that comes to mind) who has operated as a manager in “founder-mode” across multiple companies.

Well done. Graham picked an enemy, which is a great writing technique. And it further helps boost his stock with the founders he wants to support
