"Less talking. More X," is a cliche that doesn't imply that there is zero "X."
I think you're fundamentally misunderstanding their comment and then attributing your mistake to them as if it's their mistake.
Batteries is probably one of thew most researched technologies ATM. So asking for more research and less talking when the progress of actual research is publicized is just moronic idiotic, and everything else describing ignorance.
The comment is satire. You get reports about amazing batteries about every month, yet ~~most~~ pretty much all of them never went into production. It has been like that for years, since I was a teenager at the very least. And what has happened since then was pretty much refinements to Li-Ion and the commercialization LiFePO.
The timeline from research to "in my products" feels like a decade.
It usually is at least a decade. New modern technology and manufacturing processes take years to decades to get up to speed because of all the hiccups and surprises they find along the way.
You called their comment "ignorant and misleading." Do you actually stand behind those words?
They didn't ask for "more research." They were asking for more of these cheap and effective batteries to be available for them to purchase.
