#4"They recall the gemologist saying he’d analyzed the diamond glass sample and concluded that Huawei had blasted it with a 100-kilowatt laser, powerful enough to be used as a weapon."
What? how can you determine that from a piece of broke glass?

#5This descriptions does not sound like it's about something that is "virtually unbreakable" :
"The sample looked like an ordinary piece of glass, 4 inches square and transparent on both sides. It’d been packed like the precious specimen its inventor, Adam Khan, believed it to be—placed on wax paper, nestled in a tray lined with silicon gel, enclosed in a plastic case, surrounded by air bags, sealed in a cardboard box—and then sent for testing to a laboratory in San Diego"

Also according to the agreement Huawei was not supposed to "break" it. I am not sure how they are supposed to evaluate it without scratching at it.

Laser melting is distinctive under a microscope.

This one stood out to me too. What benefit it even is to get a sample of protective glass if you are not allowed to test it? ”Here. Look at it. Trust us that it’s super resistant to scratches”.

It may very well be "virtually unbreakable" for the use case of something that's supposed to survive the rigors of life as a display for consumer electronics device.
Breaking it, of course, would be something that any device designer would do in the course of characterizing or evaluating it as a component for a new product.
Whether that would have been done on the first sample is something that's strictly between the AKhan and the evaluator.

Well how would you ship glass to San Diego? It’s suppose to arrive safely to be tested in a lab. Not partly compromised by the time it gets there.
