Homology modelling can only model protein sequences similar to those which are already known Maxim 18.3
Searching large datasets with non-specific, short sequence fragments results in many false positives Maxim 18.4

Whenever you make a statement, call for more research (money)! Maxim 18.5
Database annotation is hard to do well, so be prepared to update it on a regular basis Maxim 18.6
Automation can be very helpful when creating annotation, but to achieve the highest quality, humans are needed to make some value judgments Maxim 18.7
Conclusions are based on the available data which, in this case, is the database annotation (which may or may not be current) Maxim 18.8
