"Ben is a bumbling idiot per many but we should take his word for what Jon can and cannot do?"
if you agree that ben is a bumbling idiot then by all means no, dont take his word...
if you dont believe that ben is a bumbling idiot then you should probably pay attention to what he said...
why does everything have to be unanimous or 100%???...you know, it really should be possible to have an opinion without dragging the whole message board into it...
yes yes..hurdles, challenges, bureaucracy whatever...so what?...its so hard to get eggs into vietnam?...whats the alternative?...somehow do without them?...lol
it doesnt matter how tough it is, the eggs HAVE to get there....and waiting around for 10 months should NEVER have been an option...and no its not ok...
"Unless there is proof I am unaware of?"
100% proof again?...thats funny...if that is what is required, theres really no proof that kblb can mass produce spider silk...or that pesticide caused any problem at all at prodigy...or that there is really a prodigy mass production facility in vietnam at all...
the bottom line is that if one wishes proof before one believes, then there is really very little about kblb that can be believed...as there is no proof of much of anything...
wheres the proof in immunity worms?..wheres the proof in pure spider silk?...wheres the proof that clearly shows that pesticides caused the failure to mass produce last Fall...
the closest thing you have to proof about anything is that ds isnt all its claimed to be..
the army tested ds fiber and walked away...kim tried to mass produce it and failed...kim went 10 months without production during which time he transformed ds...and now hes ready to try what appears to be a new "specialized" version...
sounds to me like there was more evidence to believe that ds wasnt all it was said to be than anything else...
"Making significant progress in genetics tells us next to nothing about how that may or may not impact this current production effort or if it was due to a necessary change or has come along as enhancements continue to be achieved."
no, its kim that is telling you absolutely nothing...gee...wonder why?...if everything is going so wonderfully?..
maybe its because he has NO COMPETITION and in fact has a COMPLETE and TOTAL monopoly?...and thus is afraid of.....???
"This doesn't necessarily mean anything was bad before"
no no...of course not...the army testing the fiber, saying no thanks, AND failing to mass produce can only mean wonderful things....so long as you are willing to accept all the different excuses of which there is no proof provided..." Unless there is proof I am unaware of?"...lol
"just that what they have been developing is now even better."
it just needs to work and not fail...at this point i would be happy if the fiber was as strong as sewing thread..just so long as they can mass produce it...we can figure things out from there...
"The eggs represent the future of spider silk production. Glad to hear it."
from the eggs come the worms that make the silk...so.....was there ever any doubt?... smh
