The point was that these techniques that people are decrying as just applying to super idealized cases in N=4 SUSY produced real computationally and experimentally testable results in real lower dimensional systems. However, no one is going to be putting out excited press releases about thermodynamic Bethe Ansaetze.

Thanks for clarifying. That it's not limited idealized cases is a very good point, and my apologies for my earlier snarky comment.
