And don't get me started on dead and buried "gimmicks" . . .
. . . usually brought back to life by "Joe Smith" who thinks he's smart BUT even the industry is guilty of it . . .
In pharmaceutical research, most ideas for new drugs fail. Biology is complex, and the body fights back against a lot of therapies. That doesn't stop the partisan true believer from trying to resurrect his failed therapeutic compound idea at every chance he gets. My friend Joe (Exec Director at a top firm) once answered a question I asked:
"Joe, do you have a hard time killing compounds?"
"Nope. No problem killing 'em. I do, however, have a hard time keeping them dead".
So it is with some bad bike ideas.
