> Each of the four senior Genentech scientists was contacted individually by The Daily and was unaware of the others’ accounts. Their independent accounts, given over several hours of interviews, were highly consistent with each other, and also consistent with publicly available information about the research. It doesn't invalidate the entire story in any significant way, but after all these years, even after an hour or a day or two, wouldn't they all have been aware of each other's accounts and points of view? They may have explicitly reconciled them years ago - 'holy cow, what are we going to say?' Genentech may have coached them - in fact, I would almost expect it.
