Sergio, VC are mainly driven by a clear goal: making money. Think of this: they invest in 10 companies but they already know that they will get back, hopefully, 10 (not a great deal) to 100 (not bad) times the amount they invested by selling one or two of those companies. The other 8 shut down. So the market will tell them they have been wrong 8 times but one or two of the companies they investe in were worth the risk. And they will go on acting this way. It works.

I completely agree with you. But a question is turning around my head: how can a VC give (a lot of) money to anyone without asking your same questions?
