I used to be a biologist and worked a lot with bioreactors. 1 is absolutely true and on top of that, and also since this is meant to become food, you need to be extremely careful to make sure that none of your batches become contaminated by literally anything that lives in the surrounding air, water and all other inputs to the process. Plus, when you "scale" out your process (i.e. use a bigger bioreactor) these problems grow as much, there is no economy of scale here, quite the contrary the larger this gets the bigger the headaches. I guess they deserve the benefit of the doubt but I'm bearish on them succeeding. I really hope they prove me wrong, though!
