What if that achievement never happens, that is the "pure spider silk milestone" ... What has been accomplished thus far is an important milestone, that is the creation of transgenic silkworms that are able to spin spider silk structurally integrated in the native silkworm silk ... The fiber properties as announced earlier are already an improvement over silkworm silk ... Therefore with the creation of a wide array of transgenics capable of producing a wide array of fibers with a whole host of properties suited for various commercial applications would be the goal ... I could care less if this so called "pure spider silk" never happens ... If it does, more power to all of us but that's NOT why I'm investing in this company ...

"Note that no one who knows the science expects KBLB to literally produce the exact same silk as a spider. For one thing the same spider can make up to 8 different types of silk and there are many species of spiders. What's meant by "pure spider silk" is a silk that contains only spider silk protein (and no protein from any other species) and with properties in the same range as spider silks."

Don't you sense a contradiction above: not the exact same silk as spider silk yet silk with only spider silk ... Huh
