I can't really see how the quote from Lowe's article is a reply to what I've written. I've done my best to be as humble as I can while still trying to offer something from my exper…

I am not saying that Computer Engineering (not science) can magically overcome the challenges of drug development - that would indeed be fallacy. I am saying that one of the challe…

Fair enough, although I think that discussing and further thinking about that analogy might be able to create new insights. I find it unfortunate that in addition to highly interes…

Which is exactly what you cannot do, the moral and legal constraints dictate that we probably need some other mechanism.

I mean finding the equivalent of unit tests in drug development. If it's already there - great. If not - let's file a Jira to research that backlog item

QSAR sounds very interesting, if I encounter a failure in later stages of drug development - can I feed that information back to the model? See I'm trying to understand if the conc…

The article is not about testing on living creatures or about iterative refinement - it is about having the right unit tests to make sure that the iterative refinement predicts bet…
