I agree that presently, the artists contribution is primarily as a "sales tool", to attract promising young minds into this field. <BR/><BR/>Looking forward however, it is not inconceivable to imagine the artists tools being advanced enough (consider the advancement of the artist's tools over the past decade) to take research data and develop conclusions (ok.. call them predictions) through the use of these TOOLS.
