Re "real insight", quoted from the highlight: "Current medical research tries to minimize risk to the individual while
maximizing benefit to society. Yet, in traditional research, no attempt is made
to calculate the value to society of what may be gained by research.
In contrast, GCTA seeks to maximize both individual and societal benefit
based upon explicit quantification for each. One quantitative measure of
societal benefit is information gain, which enables the prioritization of one
option versus another at a specific moment in time. "
