> We could fix this stair. It would just require the raw data from a variety of pharmacokinetic trials, some in-depth experiments on human liver and gastric membranes, and some simulation of the physics of how different drugs diffuse into the bloodstream and across membranes.
This statement seems overly optimistic. Predictive Pharmacokinetics that obviates most trials would need to model all possible drugs for all people. The computational complexity of that problem seems out of reach. The best way to get to know complex adaptive systems (which can’t be properly simulated most of the time) is to test them empirically.
