In Theranos' earliest SEC filing, "Draper Fisher Jurvetson Fund VII, L.P." is listed as a Beneficial Owner. It undercuts your argument that Silicon Valley firms weren't fooled. They were.
A single investor in the earliest round is the closest you can get to zero. And the fact that even this investor didn't participate in later rounds is a clear signal for those who understand it.

Close to zero is not the same as "the absence of Silicon Valley firms". You could change your footnote to "few Silicon Valley firms" and keep your point. But a refusal to fix one of the more easily falsifiable claims is, to use your words, lame.
