This bugs me especially when Silicon Valley companies get involved in life sciences, closer to my field. So much of the buzz is around "innovation" and daring to "think outside of the box," while so much of the actual work comes in implementing and tinkering with basic ideas. It's very weird to see a company say "We're not bound by the slow pace of the establishment, we're going to dream big, and look for a cure for cancer itself!" People have been looking for a cure for cancer for thousands of years--the problem in healthcare has rarely been too-small dreams.
