Building one latching RAM cell is research. Building a 125 megabit
latching RAM chip and ganging nine of them together into a 125
megabyte RAM with parity check is technology. Successfully doing that
a few million times is engineering. You can sell engineering.

How many times has cancer been cured in the lab? The number of "new
hopes for cancer cure" would choke an elephant. Get real. They are
lying to you.
