It's hard to envision how Holmes could have ignored his concerns
Yet, it appears that she successfully did exactly that: Ignored his concerns. And your article says so, from the very top:
In a searing investigation into the once lauded biotech start-up Theranos, Nick Bilton discovers that its precocious founder defied medical experts—even her own chief scientist—about the veracity of its now discredited blood-testing technology.
- refulgentis 10y agoThe quote is irrelevant, we certainly know she didn't listen to concerns! :) The thread you started is about the thesis that she was in an echo chamber of positive thinking due to her being "pretty", and I'm specifically addressing your attempt to defend it by noting that once Kissinger made Holmes feel like Wile E. Coyote, she wouldn't listen to some punk. All the reporting indicates Kissinger wasn't involved, and that she ignored even her chief scientist's grave concerns. It wasn't just "some punk", and she wasn't getting a pass from everyone because she was pretty.
