Clean up your bash act Harry, it is old and soft. First, math. $1,25 options are better than $1.75 options, it's the company saying "we have your back". Second, Manocha has said little from the get go, and no one is saying anything for the moment. If it gives you a less than excited feeling, find a new E.D. prescription or a new stock. Manocha is also a scientist and he did not walk into Taylor's lab and get lost when he vetted the process. While he said he was kicking the tires he also said the technology was "disruptive".
The company is at most in a soft sell mode, understate over deliver, until then, make no waves, and keep the big boys guessing. When you are doing something that impacts so many verticals, so intrusively, you don't say a word until you know it is ready for delivery.
