Or more precisely stated, it's naive to believe a silver bullet is a likely outcome.
Yes, I do believe that management believed they had a decent shot. The expert with whom I consulted in 2013 also believed that the most reasonable approach to curing viral infections was nanomedicine. The mechanism of action was also described to me as reasonable, in principle. The challenge, however, would be designing a ligand that would mimic the attachment proteins on the surface of a living cell. Clearly, this expert was wrong on the issue of scale-up of the nano-micelle production, as he felt that would not be a major technical hurdle. Yet this has become a major hurdle. If he was wrong about this, it's not surprising that Anil and Gene were as well.
The issue of the ligand design has not been brought up. However, it is my contention that even if the scale-up issue is solved the ligand issue will prove even more nettlesome.
The company has FAILED completely to be transparent with investors. I consider this to be an ethical issue at this time. But what most on this list seem not to appreciate is the psychological cycles tech-entrepreneurs go through when a dream-project goes off the rails. It's very hard to take in negative evidence when it begins to happen. And it does not happen all at once. It's a slow process and the mind keeps you from accepting it. So a psychological failing becomes an ethical failing.
