And then they probably had a booth like any other vendor, small or large, where they further promoted their, um, "findings".

Frankly, I'd be rather embarrassed to purport these findings at any remotely scientific venue, bc of the nature of the attendees and the subsequent expectation of the scientific method. You'd likely end up a deer in the headlights thinking "oopsie".

I didn't know that you worked for Medtronic.
