   > what should we do as engineers?
Well you can warn people off, but you can't make people disbelieve what they want to believe. In similar situations I've suggested that folks wait until they can be ordered and the crowd funded units have shipped. Then they will have a good idea of what they are getting. If the crowd funding fails or they are poor quality, they will have saved themselves aggravation and money, if it works then they will be available as a product.
