Pretty interesting point or question here. In my opinion, the question is whether the poster is trying to delude us (the audience) into thinking this is fact, or whether it is clearly a pipe dream they are sharing.
In this case, My69 suggests
If he had stopped there, I think it would have been palatable and even passing. It's clearly an imagined future, not a recitation of facts. Problem is that My69 goes on and on, deeper into this imagined future -- "his spirit with divine ambition puff'd /Makes mouths at the invisible event." (Hamlet himself wasn't sure that he knew what was real and what was imagined.) The detail gets so fantastic that it stops being my69's idle speculation and begins to seem something that he really THINKS is happening. "Tiered payments & etc., to our new company from any of those 3rd party deals." It's a layer cake of a fantasy.
Ohm's speculation is quite different. All he is saying is that IF we get an approval for (say) Alzheimer's, it would be worth billions. It's a conditional fact, but it's a fact, and indisputable.
Yet at the same time we all tend to go future places like My69 does. We're going to Vegas after CYDY hits and have a group party. One person is buying a beach house, another a yacht, Tony a Corvette (unless he already has one); I'm retiring, myself. Yet the share price just dipped below 13 cents. We're all guilty of fantasy, or we wouldn't be in this stock. I don't think My69 is very guilty here; he's just an extreme case.
Guess It's just a question of labeling, so everyone knows whether we're having fun or pretending we know something. Meanwhile, pass me that beach house. Thanks in advance.

Roll us into a new company.
