I don't agree that this is
schadenfreude.
Here was a company that popped up, literally out of nowhere, claiming to have a handle on microfluidic diagnostic assays...something that the major players in the industry haven't been able to get off the ground since ELISA came along in the 1960s.
The skeptics were quiet at first. I mean shit, they landed Walgreen's and Kroeger! It must work, right?
Now we discover a little more of the truth and it's a lot safer to say "put up or shut up".
