That's a disingenuously kind interpretation. This was a bunch of fraudsters with failed technology making out that it worked.
- officialchicken 10y agoDisagree, it is easy to find a Theranos article or Holmes quote with the word "disrupt". The enablers (VC's) of this trainwreck preferred that philosophy and not the traditional medtech/pharma/R&D that use Verify & Validate approach to development.
- madaxe_again 10y agoRight, but that's PR versus reality. They say "disrupt", we say "defraud".
- a3n 10y agoHillary Clinton has used "disrupt" in her current campaign, and she almost sounded like she knew what she was talking about. Sort of like saying "source codes." You've heard of it, but it doesn't fit into your vocabulary quite right. "Disrupt" seems to have emerged from tech and startups into political filler.
