That&#x27;s a good question, but in that case, what is the definition of a scam, and aren&#x27;t many more SV companies -- even successful ones -- guilty of it? I mean, I don&#x27;t think that the scaminess of a venture is defined by its outcome. So is it something that is known with certainty to not possibly work? Even then I&#x27;m not sure Theranos qualifies. From what I&#x27;ve read (I know nothing about blood tests), experts say that there are tremendous difficulties in performing a blood test on a very small quantity, but I haven&#x27;t heard anyone say it&#x27;s downright impossible.
