Re: But, she did do one good thing
As a company producing medical devices, wasn't there some agency required to look at and test this equipment before licencing it for use? Or can any old snake-oil salesman make any claims they want without retribution?
On the other hand, there does seem to be a culture of "fake it 'till you make it" in Silicon Valley. Lots of big claims being made to attract the VCs and frequent total failures to produce the goods.
