I'm for real! What is the significance? Does it mean we have a gold standard test or no?
My point is, I'm not listening to anything these days except for a concrete answer to the elusive sens and spec numbers...the final numbers. To me, that is all I have to hear... but I'm beginning to think to really trust that it's a gold standard test in the making, I need to dive into the unique science behind it that supposedly is directly related to the disease it is detecting....
According to Gerald via response to Warp, specialists in attendance were impressed with the test findings... but how can that be when definite sens and spec numbers weren't presented.... and I swear my paraphrase of what Dr. Kirby said during his talk was, in fact, how I heard him say it...
Call me naive if you may, I've chosen to trust the company and do understand that things don't always go as planned, even the greatest of communicators get blamed for not communicating things clearly, and honest people get accused of lying and deceit. This is high risk penny land so SP can drop in an instant as it did right when Dr. Kirby was explaining that number 70 (or was it an 80?). And for what its worth, in general, I'm not a very trusting person. Have I drunk the kool aid? I don't think so.... but can't fully explain why.
I don't believe the drop in SP was in result of bad data presented....so, I have more reason to believe we still have a shot at owning a gold standard diagnostic test for AD. Good enough for me.
