How much of something is one allowed to try before they say "I really hated that"?

Many people think poorly of Teresa Nielsen Hayden, but I still think this quote (from "Slushkiller") is right on the money:

I frequently see denunciations from writers who say an editor can’t possibly judge their novel from three chapters and an outline. Sure we can, even if the chapters are short and the first one’s atypical. In many cases, three pages are enough. You don’t have to drink the entire carton of milk in order to tell that it’s gone bad. And in any event, three chapters are certainly long enough to tell you whether you want to look at the rest of the book.
