Great points.  But I will tell you this.  I have been in the glue/adhesive business for over 30 years and the company in the Lab has made some incredible, unbelievable glues/adhesives for different applications that never saw the light of day.  Making/producing/discovering something in a Lab setting and then trying to ramp it up to a production setting is where the issues always are and why the vast majority of items made/discovered in Labs never hit the markets.

Now some may be able to make Graphene from other materials in a lab, but that is far far from being able to take to markets.  Now it may be done some time in the future, but right now Graphene from Graphite (high quality graphite) is much further along to being a reality for ramp up to production for various uses than anything else. Go ZEN!
