The buyout of Flaskworks came long before anyone anticipated it.
I doubt you're correct on timing, and I doubt that it will take anything like or near the time you suggest. Again, given your prediction, if it does come anytime sooner, we'll all know that it came LONG before you anticipated it and we can have that discussion again at that moment.
Happy to take a bet that it happens sooner than 5 years from now.
While NWBO did get one part of Sawston certified when they ‘expected’ they would late last year, it is one achievement alone with very familiar technology not new stuff like Flaskworks and so assigning some sort of ‘NWBO multiple’ to any time frame shareholders expect is reasonable.
