>>You got me on a couple of those, especially the first one, about infarct size.>>

I knew that. It was almost below the belt. And good results from properly done and sized trials should anyhow have a precedence over mere science. But a lack of understanding of the underlying processes will not only increase the risk of late-stage failure, but also increase the hostility factor at FDA (who doesn't like to approve something that not even the sponsor understands).

I am not so concerned about the IP matters. In the end most of them will cross-license, it seems.

But I agree with you that these things have to be considered. Maybe it is possible to "add" them all together and call it the MPI-factor (for Market Perception Index).
