Don't confuse demand for hype. There's a demand to have a trial phase with the product, but not for the actual product itself. We'll see if there is actual demand once that phase is over.
No one is demanding a trial phase with the product, as such is not an option. The only option is the product, and there is $2mil worth of demand for the product (likely higher since that number was reported).
Why are you trying to cut them down? "We'll see if there's an actual demand"? There is an actual demand. $2 million in demand. That's undeniable.
