For what it's worth, I would encourage Dr. Donovan to change the verbiage. I've never understood why people are so afraid to admit that things don't always work out. Investors have *more* respect for the unvarnished truth, rather than having things be spun better than they were.

There's "true" and then there's true.

If I say that Emmitt Smith and I have combined for 18,355 rushing yards in the NFL, that's a "true" statement.

It's also very misleading.

I could instead give the real truth and say that I discovered early on that I would never make the NFL and this taught me a valuable lesson that at some point you have to realize something isn't going to work out and move on to something that does.

Would you have more respect for me if I gave you the first description (the Emmitt Smith one), or the second one?
