  That they are trying to do something incredibly hard doesn't excuse the fact that they did a shoddy job doing medical tests. It's actually sort of difficult to understand what they thought they would gain by exposing the public to their experimental tests.

It's sort of an indictment of the concept of consumer education that anyone would still trust their health to the results of a test run by this company.
