Are you implying that people haven’t been and aren’t working hard to make it more predictive? This essay gives the impression that the author has just dipped their toe into the field.
Everybody has to start somewhere but it helps to have some depth of understanding before proclaiming others as idiots (seems to be a common passtime of startups these days).
When I got into pharma I could easily see a dozen obvious ways to speed things up and/or add therapeutic value. Fortunately I kept my mouth shut and learned that all but one had been tried. That one that made us unique was more of a social practice.
- MostlyStable 3y agoI am implying nothing. I don't work in the field, and, as you say, have no idea what is or isn't being done. If, as you suggest, the kind of work being suggested by the author is being worked on, that probably would have been a more useful comment than the one you made, which didn't imply anything of the sort and seemed pretty defeatist and just "that's the way it is", which is what prompted my reply.
