I understood you were using the example of antibacterial drug discovery to defend traditional phylogenetic models (against the parent commenter). I wanted to illustrate that the lack of new results in these fields doesn't offer good evidence that traditional phylogenetic models are adequate for this specific purpose.
Sincere apologies if I went too far and incorrectly put words into your mouth. Sorry.
I also don't work in bioinformatics any more for similar reasons.
Could I bother you for a couple of specifics for why you left the field? As I mentioned earlier I'm exploring bioinformatics, and I've previously spoken to JunkDNA at length about his own experience, so it would be nice to hear another perspective. My email is pvnick [at] gmail.com if you don't want to discuss it here.
