Venter hasn't made anything worth keeping in his entire career. He's mostly a blow-hard who makes overblown claims and then ends up dissembling in an attempt to explain away his failure.
And that's all this is.
Not that it might be a good idea. It's just that he's not up to the task.
Sounds like you've been up against him. What did you do?
(NOTE: Guys who challenge Venter's credentials must put their own on the line first).
