If there was a headline, "Company X with Product Y cured cancer" and it turns out that product Y actually only cured 90% of cancer, I'm pretty sure most people would be happy the headline.
Oh, and to be a true parallel example, in this case the remaining 10% of cancers might not even be cancers, as experimental accuracy of protein structures is only ~90% accurate, the model could very well be more accurate than our current ability to experimentally detect protein structure.
- kgwgk 6y agoI really interpreted that headline as "found a general solution to the protein-folding question" not as the also interesting but not that much "can be used to solve protein-folding problems".
