Geez, cut the guy some slack, woodja? It's a school project,

(what a concept!) to see if the idea had legs. Now he knows it
doesn't. No need to beat him up.

Steve,
I agree. Give him feedback but don't belittle him.

Lighten up, will ya?. If anything, we're doing him a BIG favor. We may
be a tough crowd, but we're nothing compared to what he would face in
the actual marketplace. It's better that he takes few lumps and learns a
valuable lesson about market research while he's still in school. He may
well thank us one day.
