Sounds to me like a bunch of folks bitter that someone else did it before they did.
I'll give you that, if it turns out to be a success.
That exact point was made in an article I read yesterday, about a French doctor who was criticizing this -- he had clearly been planning to be the first, and was pissed that somebody else broke the rules (which I gather he had a hand in making) and beat him to it. The patronizing talk from doctors quoted in this article is disgusting.
