It does illustrate that you are not the social inept moron that you are 
trying to pretend. Remember: they asked you to be on the team. You even 
met IRL and you were not thrown out immediately. (The reason they asked 
nor the reason why they keep up with you does matter, so don't give your 
version in a job interview).

sorry missed that. That is probably a good sign.

irrelevant IMO, our lab is in a constant transition to more regulation 
(partly because of the hype of the time and partly because the type of 
research is changing) you seem to know at least partly what kind of 
regulations are out there *and* you know how to implement such measures. 
  If someone here notices that they might even create a job description 
for you just to get you in. Pity you seem to be stuck in that hole in 
the UK.

I know a company that does do the labeling and the reason is simply that 
they a) don't want to get sued for misdiagnoses because their system 
happened to be in the same room. b) they are a small company that can 
not afford expenses associated with the testing. and c) their 
administration of the development and production is not even remotely 
resistant to an medical grade audit. Not everybody can afford an Andy, 
you know.
