Disagree, it is easy to find a Theranos article or Holmes quote with the word "disrupt". The enablers (VC's) of this trainwreck preferred that philosophy and not the traditional medtech/pharma/R&D that use Verify & Validate approach to development.

Right, but that's PR versus reality. They say "disrupt", we say "defraud".

Hillary Clinton has used "disrupt" in her current campaign, and she almost sounded like she knew what she was talking about. Sort of like saying "source codes." You've heard of it, but it doesn't fit into your vocabulary quite right.

"Disrupt" seems to have emerged from tech and startups into political filler.
