Supercomputers are becoming more accessible. There's a large gap between research and real-world use, such numerical models need to be thoroughly tested for robustness before they can be deployed.

And according to experience, such studies are usually conducted simultaneously with Laboratory experiments, or already have Lab results they can compare with. If not, such study acts as a new source of synthetic MD data which can be picked up by the experimental folks.

I do agree that people who write such blogs tends to sell these ideas or studies as finished products which they are far from. The product of such studies are usually a paper or in other cases a patent. An idea others can build upon, like lego bricks.
