Deepmind’s Nobel Prize was primarily for its performance in CASP which is pretty much exactly this. Labs solve structures of proteins, but don’t publish them until after all the computational teams predict structures.
So I’m not sure where you’re coming from claiming that this isn’t scientific.
It wasn't like this in any way.
CASP relies on a robust benchmark (not just 10 random proteins), and has clear participation criteria, objective metrics how the eval plays out, etc.
So I stand by my claim: This isn't scientific. If CASP is Japan, a highly organized & civilized society, this is a banana republic.
