There was a lot to be said for the original patent application process where you had to file an instance of a working machine using the process along with your patent application.

And I'm pretty confident that if it was necessary for the patents, they can and would have built basic FPGA versions. So while there are certainly adjustments to make to the patent system, I don't think that particular rule would have changed anything here.
