BULLSHIT! She is a sociopath who had average grades and conned her way into a uni Chinese language course while in HS. Stanford was all agog that she was fluent... she wasn't. She dropped out of the CE track because she was woefully out of her depth. A $200B industry (mcap)... Theranos diluted draws. You cannot run an HCT on diluted blood! Does anyone honestly believe that she could not differentiate between 7 test and 200 (Forbes)?! The test kits on Army medevac units?
Bull-fucking-shit. It reads like a strategy to paint her delusional and make her sympathetic in court. I don't know her intellect, but if smart enough to get into Stanford (female quota and all) she knew full well what she was doing, or more accurately wasn't doing. Now, the producers of the documentary probably have no reason to make that impression up, but I don't buy it.
Very similar to Musk, or the Enron guys. They are either fraud or stupid. And since we know they are not stupid, therefore...
Let me guess, you've never so much as stepped foot on the Stanford campus, but you feel confident in throwing this out? I agree with the point of your statement, I am just baffled why you felt the need to throw this gratuitous (and completely incorrect as it happens) statement in?
