I neither like animals being used in this way, nor do I think it is always useful. But I am reminded of conversations I had back in the mid 80s with animal rights people who wanted to replace all animal testing with computer simulations. I couldn't convince them that a computer simulation would never be able to substitute for the real thing, just like animal testing is not a substitute for human testing.
They didn't want to listen. Just like all the folks who thought a computer simulation was enough to justify lockdowns.
