If you have a better way of finding molecules, you can more easily find one that best suits it's purpose.

But like I said, they've done this before and it didn't work then. They've done nothing to address those previous issues.

Doesn't work like that. The team that made this is not the same team that can fix those issues, and it is possible that those issues can't be fixed, or it is not feasible, and thus having a different molecule would be better.

But that's not how the systems work?? The programmes come up with a whole bunch of different molecules based on the input. The programme isn't broken, the method is, and it won't be good until the issues with it are fixed.

Also, there really is no reason why it can't be the same team doing both these things, they're not isolated groups of people (and if they are, then there's a high chance they're not doing good science)
