Shkreli sympathizers pointed out the students were closely supervised by a number of Ph.D types and that the time these people had spent should therefore be added to their costs.

My contention would be, that is overhead cost and ought to be amortized over the estimated time the pill is likely to be in production before it is superceded by a better treatment option. You don't have the Ph.Ds hovering over each and every batch, that's just silly.
