Whether the technology works as advertised can be verified by a layman. For Theranos you'd need a biologist/chemist/doctor.

- tyingq 11y agoI suppose though, the wrinkle being the "verified by a layman" means "verified by a layman in a very presenter controlled environment". The outside observer doesn't necessarily get to see if the results have some big limitations. That could be cost, environment, etc. Maybe the whole room is rigged with hidden tech that makes it possible, but not practical in the real world. Maybe there's a zillion dollars worth of compute farm running real-time behind it. Certainly, plenty of laymen, and even experts, bought into telekinesis when the demo was in a highly presenter controlled environment.
