Honestly my intuition is more along the lines of something like the linked comment, but because I lack the technical acumen to for example read the patent and make sense of it my suspicion is I'm being taken for a ride. That being said the amount of money that goes to SAPs and USAPs is mind boggling, so it also seems plausible it's real. Perhaps that's the desired effect? Also I recall a comment chain on Fark between two seemingly knowledgeable commentors that claim to be involved researchers and discuss some of the things in your linked comment, I'll see if I can find them.
