The uniformity of comments here worries me, as does Lowe's article. I think you are building a very tall wall. The gist of my article is: From my experience in my area, developing in a complex environment requires the most investment n

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 experience. You seem to be fixed on an image.

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 concept of a unit test is present in the drug development f

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 better the effect on living creatures. I am indeed a well meani
