> when it turns out they weren't doing any of that

Except for the part where they had all 200 tests going through lab review... Is the doubt that they'll move on to getting more tests FDA approved once the first one passes full review?

They never once said they were not using existing machines to do these tests, not once, they only spoke about the quantity of the sample needed. Using the same analogy, saying I have a great story to tell you but then reading Moby Dick isn't necessarily cheating, because Moby Dick is a great story :).

Right, it's not cheating or lying, just kinda misleading.

Agreed, they should have been upfront on what technology they developed in house and what it can and cannot do. A simple table outlining that could have cleared up the air.
