None of that tells us production runs are not underway now. Just posting things that have not been said is not proof, which is what I asked for since it was a declarative statement.

Did you mean to say “in your opinion” but decided to play word games instead?

that want to say that an ounce of spider-ish silk is "production".


A ton of silk isn't commercial production either. They could make a ton and use it on more trials or give away samples to all the supposedly hundreds of companies that want some or use it to make prototypes.
Commercial production is making ton after ton after ton and turning it into an actual product that is sold to someone. I don't see that happening anytime soon. Certainly not in Q1 2024.

WebSlinger: “the recent PRs have discussing running a few "early" two-strain hybrid field tests recently, and they are now hoping to run field trials in the Spring. Tests and trials come way before any sort of production.”

Once again, Thompson has done his best to throw shade at investors. The Dec. 19 PR said, “The purpose of the recently completed production batch was to test our production model. The purpose of the upcoming field trials is to gain data from hybrids which we have developed over the last 12 months. “

So we have an early test and upcoming spring field trials. The early test was to ensure that the steps in the production cycle ran smoothly. Here’s another important line from the same PR:

“The two strain hybrid system was successfully tested using an early version of Kraig Labs’ new hybrid production model slated for trials this spring.”

Why wasn’t this production test also providing data on the hybrids which have been developed over the last 12 months? Because it was an ‘early’ version developed at least 12 months ago and KBLB knows it’s not particularly useful. For that reason, they aren’t going to continue production with this strain.

Instead KBLB will engage in field trials of newer silkworm strains. This will necessitate: 1) Shipping eggs over to Vietnam; 2) Having the experts from India travel to Vietnam to work with them on silkworm egg breeding; 3) ramping up production of the new strains; 4) Cross-breeding the new strains to produce hybrid eggs for production.

Posters want us to believe that production is already underway in Vietnam. How they can maintain that belief in light of the evidence provided by the Dec. 19 PR is beyond me. Notice that none of them provide actual timelines for when things will happen.

It’s easy to be right when your predictions are so vague they can be stretched from weeks to years to decades all by the use of vague terms like ‘soon.’

Gosh, if I ever predicted production would be ‘soon,’ even a decade ago, I can claim to be right as well! I certainly deserve a pat on the back for that, as I’m sure you will agree.
