Not unreasonable, but Clinkle and Color were both huge wastes of money and so far were more legitimately worthless than Theranos has been shown to be. The reaction seems more negative than I would expect with the information currently available - it's like the community wants to see them fail.
Maybe they are being unethical or it will turn out they don't actually have a real product, but it seems kind of early to lay on the kind of hostility people have been. A small part of me wonders if it's because there's a female founder.

It's one maybe two entire orders of magnitude bigger as a flame out.
