If there was any R&D happening after the COO split, one has to wonder where it was happening, and who was doing it?
And to be frank, I doubt there was any going on in the months before the end of the COO era...
Simple questions for Hayes...
Where was this R&D happening?
Who, besides Markus, is employed by the company as a researcher?
If this was actually happening already, don't you think it would have been PRed?
That said, maybe he meant the 2 years was going forward from here...
