With respect, there is a large gap between the letter of the law and the spirit of the law. Yours is a good example: using a gene gun may not be regulated in the US at present, but as was pointed out in a Nature piece covering the controversy around your company [0], that may not hold for the future [1]. My experiences with the FDA, and I have reason to believe they hold true at the USDA, lead me to conclude that regulators are fickle. What is the plan for when Monsanto, seeing your early success, copies your business plan and regulators respond to their terrified constituents in order to "fix the glitch"? Trying to move fast and break things in a regulated industry strikes me as producing fragile business plans, at best.
