The article in my opinion does not say much, but the following paragraph caught my attention:

>>"In the end, the best way to test whether you have a ‘must have’ product is to threaten to take the prototype away from your early users," says Rakowski. "If they don’t riot, start again."<<

Is this really doable? How can you threaten to take the prototype away?
