Think of how many internet stocks had no real sales force (and certainly none to intimidate a competitor), and no profit margin at all, and no plan to achieve profitability much less improve it, and no fundamental research, and no ability to exist without future equity financing. And, and, and. They couldn't have made it on half the fifteen points. Then, too, the fifteen points by exclusion would have eliminated quite a lot of other companies. But think of the firms of the prior decades that the fifteen points would not have eliminated.
