It should be very easy to debunk this article though. Just a single line tweet along the lines of "you discount xxxx". A bit weird to call it hater news without really engaging.
- corkill 11y agoThey might value that knowledge being kept private to them more than debunking the article in the short term.
- droopyEyelids 11y agoThis might be the time to drag out the old quotation "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" In general your point is correct, there is value to secrecy in some instances. And often people who really know whats going on can laugh at naysayers. But, for example, if someone said they have a perpetual motion machine, and laughed at people who questioned it, the laugh would seem more like delusion than informed confidence.

If uBeam truly had a way of making this work, it would be a Nobel Prize contender. The credulous VCs are being taken for a ride by a charismatic, possibly naive but possibly purposefully misleading founder.
- BurningFrog 11y agoThe Nobel Prize is only $930k. There is a lot more potential money in building a company.
- ebbv 11y agoIf you would truly rather keep a Nobel quality breakthrough to yourself in order to maximize personal gain, then I worry about you.
