Only if you're not misrepresenting your capabilities to investors or customers.

It's tricky. If you're saying what you will do, and show it as it should look, while you continue to develop it really working, and it's not endangering health like in the case of Theranos, I have a hard time seeing the issue.

I've never been in a situation where it literally didn't work though over time, and before customer usage.
