It's just, I think sometimes they are, they are overhyped in a way, or they get a bad rap because of, of, um, the misunderstanding.
and the, the misinformation I should say, and there's a lot of it out there, unfortunately.
And again, it's just bringing a methodology and an application of, of a process that on a group of products, it's not the product.
It's just, sometimes people are expecting to see something and when they don't, they assume it's not regulated, but, um, I think that's something that we could easily do.
Well, and we encounter that a lot here at CRN, where obviously that's a mischaracterization of the industry that happens all the time in the press.
And I was like, how do we stop this? So I think even as I've developed this, it's just- It's science, but it's also public relations, and it's really changing people's mindsets by educating.
It really is about education, and I think some companies stand out very well in this, and it shouldn't be diluted with every other company that maybe don't do as much research as others.
