If Sapphire said something about Pops experimenting on people, that would have been inaccurate.  The humanization procedure would have worked, the main conflict was that it would have been unethical/White Fang-angering/a bad idea to do so.

She didn't say anything like that but for the record if she does it will be Sapphire that is being inaccurate. I'm aware that the procedure would have worked but [i]she[/i] has no idea. As far as she's aware Pop was testing out possible solutions in the hopes that it would produce the desired result more than likely with many side effects before he got the formula right. Sapphire would consider that experimenting and she has no frame from reference to know that he wasn't.
