Am not religious, but that's nuts! Also interesting that Noah and co. all lived to be hundreds of years old, in the book.

I don't think the findings are all the flawed -- you see similar %'s in other developed economies. It's not like Lawrence Summers just extrapolated the data and relied only on that!

Sure! And that's true. I'll also add that the board packs a far stronger scientific punch than Theranos's originally did. It reminds me of Theranos because it meets the 'visionary founder(s) + unproven yet promising so
