I strongly disagree with this post on two different levels.
For one thing, starting out on a relationship with a potential future investor by looking for ways to put them in the hot seat doesn't feel like a success path for me. They will always be able to make things a lot hotter for you than the other way around ... so why go there?
Secondly many the specific questions would go better in a post called "how to give a VC an impression that you don't bothered to prepare for meetings". When were they founded? It's on their web site. What's their background? Oh, that's on their web site too. Why haven't you done your homework?
