    I'm open-minded about this, but God in Heaven, what an unfortunate personal association for this particular entrepreneur to have.

    There's open minded and then there's repeatedly handing your wallet to the "wallet inspector". The connection to Elizabeth Holmes is unfortunate, but anyone trying to sell some process that promises to diagnose multiple possible conditions from a very small sample of blood should have to present a lot more technical data than anything I've seen put forward by Mr. Evans that this isn't just another batch of vaporware.

    If I were an investor, I would want a very, very, very long stick indeed if I were going to touch that, and an absolute shitload of verifiable data.
