This is the best they could come up with? Two "blatant errors," one of which really doesn't have any impact? (the Avon contract)

I especially like this statement though:

a Thomas Claugus is attributed with false and misleading statements about the development, testing, regulatory clearance and use of the System; providing a self-serving underestimate of the potential size of the market; and making an irrelevant comparison with another product that does not appear to have a comparable range of applications.

Just exactly who is attributing false and misleading statements to Mr. Claugus? If it is CCSI, why don't they come out and say he made false and misleading statements? Do they think if they skirt around actually saying he made false and misleading statements that this accusation is somehow not from CCSI? Is theis an attempt to avoid being sued by Mr. Claugus? Or is it just a very poor attempt at legal-ese?

And then they don't really discuss his "underestimate" of the market size, or the product which is supposedly not comparable. They just throw it out there to see if it makes some kind of impression.

I really would have expected more from a rebuttal.

Hello JanyBird:
CCSI PR about Barron's article is lame. Very lame! The writer should be fired IMO...it is a public declaration of lame idiocy IMO.
Best regards,

CORRECTIONS IN BARRONS

"In last weeks Question & Answer (Reluctantly Short) Thomas E. Clagus erroneously stated that Chromatics Color Sciences stock price dropped when the company lost its colorimeter business with Avon in the late Eighties; Chromatics stock was not publicly traded at the time.

Also the company did use blood tests, in addition to the ruler type device mentioned by Claugus , in FDA trials for its meter to detect jaundice. The interviewee stands by his market estimate for the new meter's disposables."
