I see. My point is that all these efforts are really validating deep learning as an approach for solving previously intractable biophysics problems. Science is a series of stepping stones.

Yes, again, I work in the field.

There are many areas where ML is being used to advance drug discovery and other kinds of practical, difficult biophysics problems. Casual readers would do well not to get too fixated on this particular area.

Your expertise is acknowledged. We are in agreement

Ha...I wasn’t repeating it to make some kind of assertion of dominance, just to explain that I’m aware of the point you’re making, and that it’s related to, but different from my own.

I see, no worries then :)
