Why? We’ve used fire well before we understood the mechanism behind it, we had cannons before we understood gravity and we still don’t have a complete understanding of the quantum mechanical effects that modern computers leverage to work.

Drug discovery is often a million monkeys with typewriters kind of deal.

It’s effectively a process in which we test every chemical compound imaginable.

The trials are there to see if the drug works and is it safe.

Just to drill the point home we don’t even fully understand how Aspirin works.
