Are Founders better investors than VCs

Paul Ahlstrom mentioned recently that some of the top performing funds would be from the top 10 founders that were announced every year in a peer to peer voting competition they hosted every year through his venture vSpring Capital. (Paul has founded multiple investment funds in the United States and Latin America, including Alta Ventures, Alta Growth Capital, vSpring Capital and Kickstart Seed Fund.) Bringing us to the big debate- if founders have a better feel of the pulse of what works and what doesn't.
