Yeah, I agree. The whole "this cost figure presumes large institutional/governmental purchase" bit is just ludicrous. Personally, I think they should have left the cost figure out of it. I'd not be a bit surprised to see that the first prototype costs $300 without the "economies of scale" they presume to exist.
