No, Lar, no-you are absolutely correct. Actually, the best one was several years ago when a big name generic house (damn, I can't remember the name, but you'd know it if I wrote it)[Barr??] really screwed the industry. Their formulation of a drug couldn't pass bio-equivalence, so they bought some brand name and used that in their trials. Cool idea, hunh? Then the FDA decided everyone in the pharmaceutical world was a crook and started looking very carefully at analytical data. Before that time, it was asumed the scientists in the pharmaceutical industry wouldn't try anything that unprofessional/criminal.
