Correct.

In fact, about fifteen years ago I saw, on TV, an FDA regulator say that if aspirin were to be submitted today (15 years ago anyways) for approval as a new drug, it wouldn't pass.

To be fair though, he said it would not pass because they didn't fully understand it's mechanism. Or how it worked in the body.

Of all drugs, aspirin is probably the least harmful, but it causes a lot of problems for a lot of people. Did you read up on NSAID's yet?
